Frontpage opens outbound ports

[Nikos Kourkoumelis]

Hi... I have the following problem with frontpage 2003:
When I am opening an "open dialog", frontpage opens
2-3 outbound TCP connections to unknown sites.
To give an example: in a new page, right click, page
properties, formatting, browse for background picture.
When I hit "browse" frontpage tries to open TCP ports.

I have searched for trojans, viruses etc with latest updates.

Please help. Thank you in advance!
Nikos

Close FrontPage.

Right click the IE icon on the desktop, select properties, and delete the browser cache, cookie and
history files, then click the Programs tab and click the "Reset Web Settings" button, and then
uncheck "reset my Home Page" click OK and OK.

Open a command window and type: ipconfig /flushdns and then press enter.
( note there is a space between ipconfig and /flushdns )
When done close the command window

Launch FrontPage and see if it's changed.
