I've been using this computer for 6 months and haven't added any connections.
While looking at My Connections today, I noticed two things:  1 is an "MSN
Connection Manager" and the other is a new connection "1395".  I never added
either of these connections and am not sure what to do about them.

The reason I checked on my connections was that my computer is suddenly very
slow.

If anyone has any ideas on how to handle this, I'd appreciate it.

thanks.

Are you really, really sure the connection is "1395" and not "1394"? Please
check, because 1394 is firewire and legitimate. The other is not. The MSN
would indicate that you've installed MSN software to access the Internet.
Did you?

What is the virus/malware status of the machine? Be sure the computer is
clean:

Andrew, you're such a stupid troll. Just go away. Wrong, wrong, wrong as
usual.
