Zone alarm is blocking UDP datagrams occasionally being sent from my
PC running XP Home to various IP addresses around the world for
example...
- 218.87.86.104 = CHINANET jiangxi province network - China
- 213.132.100.180 = IP-Only Tele Communication AB - Denmark
- 200.13.220.72 = Administracion de Redes en Colomsat S.A. - Columbia
- 210.5.22.10 = NH-CABLE-COM-CN - China
- 62.215.229.162 = Fast Telecommunictions Company - Kuwai
and others in the US, Europe and even Liverpool.
I used TDIMon to trace the source and it says that they are coming
from spoolsv.exe and I have no idea why the spooler (if that's what it
genuinely is) should be trying to send 50 byte datagrams to such a
diverse set of IP addresses.
I have run the latest Norton antivirus, Adaware and Spybot checks and
all say the system is clean.
I've searched the forums and the web and found a few cases of people
with the same problem but no indications of what the cause and the
solution might be.
Can anyone suggest a possible cause, solition or qny idea for further
investigation.
Thanks ... Paul
