WORD tries to connect to the INTERNET (12.158.80.10)
Hello,
Since a few days, everytime I start WORD, I get the message from my anti-virus that WORD has been recently modified, that it tries to access the INTERNET and that I should deny the permission unless I am sure that the modification is due to an update. The connection details are : OUTBOUND connection - Protocol TCP - Remote IP address :12.158.80.10 Destination port : 20480 The incriminated program is : WINWORD.EXE Created : Jan 16, 2007 - 10:53:18 PM Modified : Jan 16, 2007 - 10:53:18 PM (The creation/modification date & time does not correspond to any known action of mine !) I am not aware that I modified / updated WORD. I updated my Anti-Virus (PANDA) and performed a full scan of the computer : no "malware" was detected. I ran SPYBOT (after udating it) : Nothing found. I ran Ad-Aware (after updating it) : it found 8 tracking cookies and removed them. I re-started WORD and got again the message about WORD trying to access the NET. I do not understand why WORD should access the NET. Is there any reason for it or any setting requiring it ? The address (12.158.80.10) seems to be from VERISIGN. Why should WORD have to connect to the VERISIGN site ? Operating system is W2K - SP4 OFFICE version is 2002-SP3 Thank you in advance. Jean-Pierre Belgium |
