WTF am I getting coneccted to?!

[Zanix]

I've got firefox open to anandtech, azureus, and winamp open.

I notice AVG scanning a POP3 server "students.liberty.edu" like I was checking my email.

I did a whois, with no luck. I hope you guys have better resources than I.

WTF is going on here? I've never heard of students.liberty.edu. And why would I unknowingly be connecting to them through pop3? Do I have a bug?

Anything to do with these people?!?

I would use ethereal to check out the packets and where they're REALLY going to ... learning curve is steep.

google for "Tcpview" download and run it.

Figure out what app is contacting that pop server -- more than likely you have a spam bot on your box

Looks like it's comming from azureus, maybe I have a bad app?

Why would that trigger the POP3 scanner in AVG though?
