Well a few times ive gotten the error:

"TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts."

so i investigated thinking it might be spyware. Turns out more of the random connections are to microsoft. Why the hell would a computer connect so many times to microsoft. I have almost nothing running on my computer.

Using the: "netstat -no" command

I used http://www.arin.net/whois/

And the PID number doesn't seem to exist in Task Manager

If they are going to microsoft it could be trying to find any updates you need or don't have installed.

But it could also be something else beyond spyware. What kind of protection do you have on your comp.

 

[TurboWarrior]

Just the firewall on the router and ad-aware.

Updates you are right. Auto updates is on. But they can't all be for that right? And would a firewall even make a difference? These connections are outbound.

The connections are gone now. Its not all the time. Maybe im just paranoid lol.

But im getting the TCP error and its because of microsoft? What the hell

Okay gonna put this up. That is a link to download.com that has quite a bit of info and free programs for security that should get rid of anything on your comp. Get the avg stuff. Also get this for a real good base http://onecare.live.com/standard/en-us/default.htm?mkt=en-us&s_cid=WL2Hdr This is from microsoft.

Also this spyware remover

Also if all else fails goto McAfee's website and get there stuff. The 8 in 1 is the best deal and will give complete protection.
