I'm probably about to embarrass myself again, but the board is doing something which to my non-expert eye seems strange.

When I just logged on, the board made various quick connections to and from sites such as googleleads, doubleclick, contextweb, adnxs and others. Those are advertising/tracking sites. It seems a fair assumption that the board was sending them my IP. Sites such as these build profiles of individuals' browsing habits to sell them. I don't log in that often, but this has happened the last couple of times I did.

In addition, just now and the last time I logged in McAfee blocked a connection the board attempted to make to an IP it deemed unsafe, 216.38.163.167. This resolves to something called "Mirror Image". I'm not sure either why McAfee thinks it unsafe or why the board attempted the connection, but thought I'd relate it.

You guys know about this?
