Actually, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see someone make a MsgPlus plugin with spyware in it. What would surprise me though is for an active member of this community (as i believe Wouter is) to do it.

Definitely Tabbed MSN. See the screenshots. The traffic appears when I start tabbed msn, and goes if I end task it

Well, that probably means that there isn't any traffic. The IP address 108.252.18.0 is in a range reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), so I don't think it can be used on the internet. All attempts to connect to it fail.

I dunno why a program would try opening a connection to that IP... :-/
Yup, thanks...I guess I should have already checked this beforehand. Well that puts my mind at ease, but I would still like to know what the traffic I am seeing is, and where it comes from. I'm begining to think that it may be a bug in netlimiter, but a strange one indeed. On the other hand it only happens with tabbed msn, and only with the latest version. I would be interested to hear from Wouter any changes he has made that could be causing this.

Yah, I'm not too worried about that. It's only a one off, and considering the software is free, I guess that's acceptable (not that I let the page finish loading
