I have been suspicious of my network activity recently so downloaded
and ran tcpview. One of my established connections was as follows :

System:4 TCP davidhomepc:netbios-ssn cable-212.76.249.73.coditel.net:3827 ESTABLISHED

Why would I have a netbios connection to a belgian ip address? Does
this sound like spyware activity? I have scanned my PC using numerous
tools with negative results. Anyone?

David,

If you're truly suspecting malware, only stop with a run of HijackThis and
expert advice. If you could do that, and post a link to your forum posts where
you get expert advice, we can help you better, and learn from the experience
too.

Cheers. I will run hijackthis and report. I have scanned my computer
with AVG, Xoftspy and Windows Defender and found nothing. I ran rootkit
revealer and found nothing. That should have put my mind at rest but I
still see unusual (as far as I understand) activity.

David,

It's good that you got no indications from the other tools. We'd really prefer,
though, that you post the log in a recognised expert forum, for instance DSLR
Security Cleanup.
<http://www.dslreports.com/forum/cleanup>
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/cleanup

Are you directly connected to the Internet? Do you have a personal firewall?
See the Layered Security link please. A NAT router, and / or personal firewall,
would block any NetBT connections to outside computers.
