doesnt really matter in most cases, there should be a max of 4 all together... although they wont be connecting to the internet they maybe still slow the pc down

Its shows open connections so it could be programs or spyware, just becuase your speeds are ok now doesnt mean it aint gonna be an issue

...and just because you've got open connections, doesn't mean it's spyware. I've just looked at my xp pro development laptop, and currently netstat is coming back with around 55 open connections, (and I know there isn't any spyware on the machine). Speed is absolutely fine as well

On a basic users computer, 9/10 times it is spyware stop making this difficult for me
