    identify a rogue program trying to access the network


    Hi,
    I am located behind an authenticated squid proxy that blocks a computer if it gets too many invalid requests (requests without proper proxy settings and authentication).
    Recently I found that my computer was blocked too frequently due to some kind of invalid requests.
    however all i know from the log provided by my ISP (which runs the squid proxy server) is that my computer tried to connect to dapi.ds-intel.net:443 about 10 times every minute.
    I have AVG internet security 2013 which has a built in firewall. It blocked some requests originating from a "SYSTEM" process about 4 times every minute too. However I cannot fiigure out what is bombarding the server and causing me to be banned from it. I did a virus scan and a rootkit scan with the same AVG application and found nothing.
    As far as any Intel software is concerned, the only application I have installed is the Intel My WiFi Dashboard in the last week. The problem originated during this time. So I uninstalled it, bu the requests to the server just wont stop.
    How can I identify what is making those requests and stop it from causing further problems?

    So have you tried using Task Manager to identify the problem. The below explains how to use it. :)
