Hi all, yesterday my AVG e-mail scanner started coming up with the following balloon:
"AutoPoP3:connecting to resalehost.networksolutions.com"
It do's this every couple of minutes or more frequently and I have checked to see if I have a rogue e-mail account in my system and run my AVG anti virus and Spybot but nothing shows up, I have also googled but that didn't help.
I don't think it is causing any harm (hopefully) just bloody annoying.
Anyone any idea's?
Running XP with all updates and Outlook Express 6 with McAfee anti spam.
:ugh:

Well I hope someone will step in with a better answer than this, but as far as I know if a domain registered with Network Solutions isn't renewed, it is redirected to resalehost.networksolutions.com, and/or underconstruction.networksolutions.com in the hope that someone may renew or buy it.

Perhaps you've got outgoing email to someone at a domain which has just expired, or you've typo'd an email address such that the typo is a recently-expired domain.
