Whenever I open the task manager, the Zone Alarm firewall detects taskmgr.exe
trying to access the internet. I did a reverse DNS lookup to determine the
requested destination. It has been everything from Microsoft, to Esset - the
makers of my NOD32 antivirus, and google. Sometimes the IP address is
unresolved.
Does taskmanager have any reason to access the internet? Some have told me
no, and I cannot get an definite answer by searching the internet.
