Hello, Today I recently checked whats being connected with me, and I find following ip: msnbot-157-56-3-46.search.msn.com


The address stated above is a property of MSN.com, now my question is, why do I find it on my computer? I have never had a connection to that address before, and I haven't installed anything new to my computer.

  If the name doesn’t end with ‘search.msn.com’, you know it’s not really our crawler.
