i have been noticing a short connection burst in system monitor every
time i connect to internet.

i got curious and decided to run wireshark to see what was happening.

seems that i am connecting to 96.195.141.178 with destination of
"PartedMagic".

this seemed strange because i do not have PartedMagic installed, so
i ran a 'whois' check.

this is what it showed:

is this something for concern?

if so, what is/are best way/s to track this down?

any and all help / suggestions are much needed and appreciated.

thank you.
