svchost.exe & internet
hi
Zone Alarm alerted me to some activity on the Internet involving svchost.exe. As far as I can tell it was trying to access: 195.93.49.134  NSI haven't noticed this before. Should I be concerned.

Instead of starting a new thread, if you don't mind, I'll ask here: I read the link above, and kinda get the idea, but I still don't know why svchost needs access to the internet??
I say "No" to ZoneAlarms warning and nothing seems to be affected, but the only place I've been is here, at "home." TwoRails |

That's an AOL DNS server. If AOL is your ISP, that's legit and necessary.
