Hello,

My firewall is reporting the above error many times.
Any suggestions why it's trying to connect via port 137/udp outbound to one
of the AkamiTechnologies caching servers ?
Port 137 does seem to be rather unusual to use - ideas ?


Steven.

Google toolbar installed? Or some other Google application offering?

Hmm... I did try out google earth, but didn't expect additional junk ware
too. Ah well.. Was wondering why I found a goodle toolbar directory in my
Program Folders too - you just can't trust anyone these days.
