I have run netstat on my WinXP machine and I always see this information

Foriegn Address:
C2.71.374a.static.theplanet.com: http TIME_WAIT

Running Netstat -n
This addess is identified with IP 74.55.113.194:80 TIME_WAIT

I have used TCPviewer and it says that this is a system process.

IS THIS MALWARE that is lying dormant on my system?
In the past I did have the PowerDVDplayer.exe virus and this was removed. Could it be that there some files still remaining from this.

I have run Spybot, Malwarebytes, Avast and SuperAntiSpy software to check the system and any bad files found have been removed but nothing can stop the above when I run netstat.

Any help in identifying this address would be helpful.
It might be that this is not a malware or a virus. If this is the case I apologise in advance for wasting peoples time. Thanks in advance.

I couldn't find anything on this to be safe update your antivirus and antispyware protection run a full scan of each also you might want to run an anti-rootkit program like this one http://www.sophos.com/products/free-tool...ti-rootkit.html just to be sure and check your firewall.
