Hi all,

Recently, I seem to be seeing Avast flagging some random network requests that I'm not starting using ping.exe and svchost.exe and I'm not quite sure how to stop them, nor do I know how many are actually not getting blocked by avast, which kind of scares me. Is there anything I can do about this?

I recently had to rid myself of the rogue Win 7 Security Suite but I suspect I didn't clean it completely. Any suggestions?
