I don't recognize anything in these two pages. And . . . I don't have any
connection to the companies or the cities mentioned. It's still a mystery as
to why my SYSTEM would try to connect . . .

Periodically a Dialog Box with the information below pops up after I
have
connected to the Internet. This will happen two or three times in a row
and
then I won't see it for about a month. I am guessing that it is some
kind of
upgrade attempt by Windows.
My antivirus is active and scans regularly, the firewall is in place and
functioning, I run Adaware and Spybot regularly and do not find any
indication of a virus or malware.
What is causing this?
