Does anyone have a clue why my computer would try to connect to pocketgpsworld.com when I haven't visited the site for about a year?
Anyone clever with networking who could help me figure out what program is initiating this?
Cheers

I was using wireshark to try and diagnose an internet problem.
I was being thick - I forgot I had a newsfeed setup.
