I use Shaw Secure which is basically F-secure with Shaw Ad's as many of you may know..

www.shawsecure.ca

www.f-secure.com/en_US/

I also run Protowall in the background on my PC.

Whenever Protowall is on these lines always pop up constantly..

Packet to "Media Force, MCI Communications Services, Inc. d..." (
65.200.212.211 ) blocked. [protocol: TCP - src: 1205 / dst: 80]

Packet from "Media Force, MCI Communications Services, Inc. d..." (
65.200.212.213 ) rejected. [protocol: TCP - src: 80 / dst: 1224]

These packets will be blocked or rejected sometimes up to 100 times an hour 24/7. A heck of a lot anyway. Even if I let the program connect it will call out or call in again soon. It's constant.

I looked it up and I think its F-secure's servers asking for something. Automatic updates are OFF. So why does it keep calling out and what is it sending/receiving?
