A few hours ago, I was forced to reboot: VLC spazzed out and everything froze, then a dialog came up saying something about security options. After that, various programs started to want to connect to the internet when I launched them, no specific programs, but not every one.
They want to connect to vip1.cdn.cachefly.net (205.234.175.175) on port 80.
I've been denying all attempts so far, but I can't find much info on the issue, so I'd like to know what the deal is.
I haven't installed any new software within the last day or so, and I ran NOD32 but it came up clean.
Running Vista Ultimate x86 SP1 with ESET Smart Security.
So far Freecell, Windows logon, Cryptainer, and a couple of others have tried it.
