My 'netstat' check is showing strange content
My Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium with Microsoft Security Essentials installed.
While connected to the internet I did a random 'netstat -f' check using the command window. Please see the attachment. What worries me is the foreign address, clkads.com, against the local address 127.0.0.1 As far as I remember, clkads is a web site that plant cookies, malware, redirect and collect information from the browser. Sometime ago I blocked this web site using 127.0.0.1 in the 'hosts'' file and the blocking has been fully effective since then.
What is the reason this is appearing against 127.0.0.1, in 'netstat' check? Please advice.
Thank you,
