Firewall Question

A few days ago I noticed several new network connections on the firewall, all showing up as Unknown:#### (ex: Unknown:3852). The connection is listening on my computer (showing a red arrow and .) and the IP address is 127.0.0.1, which I understand is a loopback address (though I only have a cloudy idea of what that means). However whenever I try to trace it it traces to www.007guard.com, a malware domain. But then again, several of my legitimate programs and connections trace here too, and I have no idea what to make of it. Both the boot-time scan and regular scan have found nothing. I’m wondering if there’s a way to manually block a connection (I haven’t found one) or what exactly it is if it’s not dangerous.

(I’m running Avast Internet Security 6.0.1091)

It is possible you have an infection which changed your DNS…

Check your DNS settings…And reset it…

If you think that you have a malware running on your pc, do a scan with Malwarebytes…

But he said that it is traced back to a malware domain…
