On a whim this afternoon, I asked my router to tell me who was connected to my computer. I'd been 'off the air' for quite some time. The first time I asked, there wasn't anybody connected. A couple minutes later I saw that just Google was connected up.
"Funny" I thought. I'd had that address in my disallowed 'hosts' file for a couple weeks.
What gives? Why is Google connecting to my computer against my wishes?
When you all look at who is connected to your machines during idle time, do you also see Google poking around in your machines?
Thanks
