    I have run netstat on my WinXP machine and I always see this information

    Foriegn Address:
    C2.71.374a.static.theplanet.com: http TIME_WAIT

    Running Netstat -n
    This addess is identified with IP 74.55.113.194:80 TIME_WAIT

    I have used TCPviewer and it says that this is a system process.

    IS THIS MALWARE that is lying dormant on my system?
    In the past I did have the PowerDVDplayer.exe virus and this was removed. Could it be that there some files still remaining from this.

    I have run Spybot, Malwarebytes, Avast and SuperAntiSpy software to check the system and any bad files found have been removed but nothing can stop the above when I run netstat.

    Any help in identifying this address would be helpful.
    It might be that this is not a malware or a virus. If this is the case I apologise in advance for wasting peoples time. Thanks in advance.
