Do a software update check with this thing and you get 
GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe  listening on port 2571 until the software is 
closed. Feel free to beat on and fuzz that port fellas. =]

I found this with tcpview:
 
 
GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe:3424 TCP p4fast.xxxx.com:3256 216.32.240.26:http

If you look at for instance system process, BHO area and select an unknown,
an option to "send to spynet for anayliss" is there. If you select this, it
reports to the 216.31.240.26 also.

On a funny note, under ActiveX area it list the microsoft update as this:

"Microsoft Windows Update Control Engine
This is an unknown ActiveX

File path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\iuengine.dll
Description: Windows Update Control Engine
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation

Installed version: 5,4,3790,14
Download location:

It does look as if they jumped very quickly to launch this software!


 
thank you
