Angry Internet Connect keeps opening ??

I'm connected via cablemodem & linksys router, w/ some portforwarding to allow some external connection. All good. But recently Internet Connect app keeps opening for no apparent reason! No infor there just
status: no status available
No VPN setup, Appletalk off, airport off, Ethernet TCP/IP via DHCP

I have no idea what is causing this. Anyone?

thanks!

Get the application Little Snitch.

Plus check the MacWorld article First Look: Trojan Horse warning: What you need to know to see if you have been bitten by the p0rn site trojan.

Also go to System Preferences->Accounts, Your User Name, Login Items and see if anything is launching at startup without your knowledge.
