Why does resource monitor for network show BOINC connected to www.8minutedating.com? I even have SETI project suspended and it still shows activity to that address. If I exit out of BOINC it goes away. Resource Monitor Network Image Address boincmgr.exe www.8minutedating.com boinc.exe www.8minutedating.com Any ideas? |

Obviously malware. Have you ran a scan of your system lately? |

I have ran many scans and nothing. I guess it is not only showing BOINC connecting to that address but also IE, FireFox. Even sometimes is lists some image of mcafee connected to that address. |

Use either Malwarebytes Anti-Malware or Superantispyware, or both. These do detect and remove all those pesky bits of spyware that your AV and other AM scanners let stay on your system. |
