Currently on COMODO firewall I have 1 'inbound' connection (and about 900 outbound connections).

I never have 'inbound' connections, and that 900 number is higher than normal (I can't remember what it normally is but it definitely isn't 900).

Looking through the active connections I can't see much out of the ordinary, apart from a few system exes I am not sure about. One in particular seems to be the source of the inbound connection and rather ominously I am unable to view it's full 'connection path'.

Any ideas? I am running a deep scan VIPRE scan right now which i have a paid subscription to.

Well, what is the inbound connection on? Port and IP address.

900 outbound, if active and coupled with the inbound suggests you've become a member of a botnet.

But we need to know what application is talking on that inbound and what the outbound application is. If comodo can't give you that, its useless.

Open Comodo, click on Firewall, network security policy, purge. Then look through every program left that connects to the internet, if you don't recognize it, remove it. If it's a legitimate program, the next time you go to use it, it'll pop up asking permission. If you get a pop up out of no where by something you never used, downloaded or installed, seriously check it out.
