I suspect it is just my DNS server but they are masking their name with the Avast program. I wrote them when I changed to DSL and told them I didn’t want any of their services except internet access and to stay off my system. They evidently found a way to cover their access and now are using your name so their software can phone home. It is not coming from them it is my system under the name of Avast trying to get out to them. That chart from the sight you sent me to in the previous email looks nothing like my firewall log. Every attempt to get to there IPN says it is Avast requesting it. According to the Incident Report my firewall (ZoneAlarm) is part of the problem. I will contact them today and probe this from their viewpoint. I thank you for your time and am confident Avast has nothing to do with it.
