  1. Hi Slyman14, I had the same issue and almost went insane after having in vain checked the registry, switched of masses of services and almost all programs in autostart. I scanned with several anti-virus boot sticks but no virus was found. Since the warning did not outline which program was causing the access I finally gave up and restored an image of my entire C: partition from about 4 weeks ago. And guess what - the problem was still there. So the assumption that I caught something recently was obviously false. To cut a long and time consuming action brief; I've found that the program causing this was the ASUS updatechecker.exe program located in C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUSUpdate\UpdateChecker - I renamed the file, switched off everything that was showing up as an ASUS service or program and with the next reboot the warning was gone. Run 'msconifg' from command line or/and 'services.msc' and check for ASUS services. Actually renaming the update program might do. I narrowed the cause down with sysinternals process monitor and then found that the IP address is in the source code of updatechecker.exe in plain text. Means you can e.g. find it with cygwin tool grep: C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUSUpdate\UpdateChecker>grep 168.95.1.1 * grep: LangFiles: Is a directory Binary file UpdateChecker.exe matches Hopefully this helps you getting rid of the warning - and above all protects from potential threads.
