High number of TCP connections = malware?
Hi everyone,
I have noticed that there is an unusually high number of TCP connections to my computer. Resource Monitor shows that I have an average of 50 TCP connections at any given time, even when the computer is idle. Also, the majority of the connections have no PIDs (process ID numbers), which I'm guessing may indicate that my computer has some sort of malware infection.
My computer has McAfee Security Center installed, and it is up to date. I just ran a scan, and everything came up clean.
Please advise me on what I should do, and if you need more info, just ask. Thanks!
