MSNBOT always connected

[clusters]

HP Pavilion desktop running Windows 8.1, doing a netstat check I discovered this:

TCP xx.xx.xx.xxx:49182 msnbot-65-52-108-227:https ESTABLISHED

This connection is always there, 24/7. Web search doesn't show much, anyone know WTF this is and how to shut it down?

I already disabled the Win10 update BS, maybe this is a remnant? :dontknow:

Nor sure when this appeared, but it wasn't there last time I checked, which was probably a month ago.

Anybody? I should add that all of the live tiles and Bing search are disabled. Connection is created with explorer.exe.

Run anti malware and see if that picks it up mate ..

Have done, a few different scans, and I have a good AV not a crappy free one. Not malware, it's ferking MS Spyware. :mad:

Problem solved, somewhere along the line BOX was installed on my system, wasn't there before. When I uninstalled it the connection went away.

:guns:Ferkin MS spyware crap.
