On their screen are few ads by companies A1 and A2.
I was told the software displaying the ads is actually installed at site S.
The ads and site S are shiny-clean. I have no problem with them.
No trash, no junk, no viruses that I can see.
I may even haved placed site S into the trusted zone 'cause I mean they're clean. But I'm not sure.
I don't understand what I see in the OUTGOING portion of the Linksys router log.
When I visit Site S, the log contains a continuous outgoing stream, such as:
site S IP address and name
site A1 IP address and name
site S IP address and name
site A1 IP address and name
site S IP address and name
site A2 IP address and name
site S IP address and name
site A1 IP address and name
What is my computer sending out to A1 and A2? Why?
They don't talk to me (nothing in the INCOMING log). I have nothing to say.
By way of experiment, I blocked everything one can block for A1 and A2 in Zone Alarm.
Initially A1 and A2 dropped out of the log. Then a day later, after rebooting they're back.
Incidentally, above is just a stream. When connected to BC, it's a raging, outgoing, river
