Hi guys. I am running a desktop using a netgear wireless usb adapter (Model: Wg111). I recently installed a program called peer guardian 2 on my comp just for safety. I noticed that everytime i restart my modem in the other room (which is every morning since i turn my modem off at night) that peer guardian shows a list of all these data packets that are allowed. The destination are extremely weird IP's such as : 66.35.250.209:80 and others such as 192.168.1.255:138? Is this the sign of a trojan? All these data packets from my comp going to these IP's seems suspicious. If it is then should i worry about the 6 svchost.exe's that i have running on my comp (3 from the system, 1 Local Service, and 2 Network service)All the virus scans came up clean and i use Spybot and Adaware SE religiously. ANY HELP IS WELCOME!
 
It ain't svchost you are interested in. It's what's running inside the service host you are interested in.

Run "tasklist /svc" to get a full output. With the process ID in hand you can also do a "netstat -ano" to see if a particular svchost instance lines up with some listening port.
