It is not going over the internet, the connections are all within your
computer (that is what the loopback means). It is quite normal.

I have been having problems with spontaneous internet connections.
This can be costly given the dial up package I have and I have had to
resort to physically removing my phone line to prevent this happening.
I ran anti virus and spyware to no avail but today zone alarm caught an
attempt to dial out and blocked it so I got the first hint of what is
happening.
An unknown software was trying to access 127.0.0.1 which I understand is
my loopback adapter (?), basically it was trying to contact itself via the
net? Is this right?
Why is this happening and how do I stop it?
Any help much appreciated.
