Is this weird ?

Hello,

I have noticed today a strange behavior from notepad and I want to ask here before wasting someone’s time chasing a ghost.

Is it normal for notepad.exe to use IGMP protocol to connect to 239.255.255.250

Yes there are lots of info about multicast and 239.255.255.250 address and old DNS methods … etc

but I am asking because it is notepad.exe, I never thought that Notepad will ever ask for internet connection.

Could this be a program with infected memory or is it 100% normal ?

Should I start a thread for cleaning ?

No answer at all? lovely community, you feel the love in the air!

Anyway, more programs have joined the band wagon…

I’ll move this to the firewall help section of the forum. I believe you will get better help there.

I see no answer in it but I clearly see Comodo’s position, I guess I have to look elsewhere but I am sure they will direct me to ask here. Thanks.
