It appears in my modem logs acess from my PC. I haven't or wasn't accessing no VM/Telewest related sites or using any of there software. It just shows in my router logs, see below. Could something on the PC be sending data or something from outside be accessing data?

Are they modem logs or router logs as I have never seen logs like that in any modem before.

It just appears to be normal traffic and the one you are worrying about is probably the exchange.

I expect if wrong broadbanding or similar will post an answer.

They are router logs. I have never seen them in there before though. I have asked on the newsgroups but even the are baffled!

The primary domain "freedom.net" seems to be associated with a security company called Radialpoint.

Does this ring any bells for you?

He has PC Guard and it is contacting the servers for update information.

So obvious I should have spotted that.:dunce:
