Okay so I don't have an immediate problem, just a question. And this is my first post so lets hope its in the right place.

I was using the classic 'system internals suite' to browse my computers current processes (used the the suite's version of window's task manager). And I watched a new process "vpnagent.exe" pop up, so I took a closer look. Under the TPC/IP tab I saw/see a single connection to www . 007guard . com, the connection status was/is 'listening'. This I didn't like very much so did some research online and couldn't find out exactly whats going on. When I simply just kill the process it comes right back with the same connection.

I know this was a process connected to the VPN service I downloaded last year (official download through my university, from Cisco) to log in to my school account from off campus, but I haven't used it in almost a year.

Should I be concerned? Any possible issues or security breeches here?

Thanks in advance!

I just remembered why I choose to post this question in the Spybot thread!

During my online research i found that there was sometimes an error where connections would be shown as the 007guard site when really it wasn't. This was due to some sort of problem with the immunization part of spybot and something referred to as the Host file? Well I do have spybot installed on my computer and I used the immunization part too, thought this info would be relevant.

Thanks again,

Kyle
