Is it trying to access the internet when you're not
trying to? If it is, then it's normal. It's just a system
file doing the actual work for you.

If it's trying to connect when you're just sitting there
looking at your computer, then you might have a virus or
spyware/adware.

Make sure your Anti-Virus software is up to date and that
you have Ad-Aware (www.lavasoftusa.com) and Spybot
Search&Destroy (www.safer-networking.org).

Hope this helps,

Nick
