    Another line you may want to look at:

    NetName: MICROSOFT-CORP-MSN-BLK

    Note "MSN B[u]lk"... the ping is actually coming from Microsoft's MSN Internet service, not from Microsoft itself.

    My roomie has Sygate. It's not much protection, just Microsoft BS (IMHO). I wouldn't worry about this. Get an antivirus (Norton, MacAfee) and if you want free, use Adaware-6 (available from Lavasoft) to clean up yr system daily. That's what I do, in the absence of having good protection, since it's not my puter.

    Good catch! BLK stands for block though.... as in a block of IP addresses.

    So the Evil Empire's internet service is trying to access my hard drive? I wonder why. Could this be a spyware? I do have Adaware and I run it regularly. So Sygate is no good? Actually I didn't choose it, a friend of mine did and I was just along for the ride.

    Thanks again everyone.
