Maybe it is something you leave loaded on your machine that is phoning
home, like for updates.

Ad-aware and SpyBot scan for known spyware. They do not scan for
trojans that might run zombies on your computer (to send data off your
system to elsewhere or to partake in a concerted denial of service
attack). Have you ran a FULL scan using an just-updated copy of your
anti-virus software?

Is IE open at the time that your firewall reports this connect attempt?
Have you check which BHOs (browser helper objects) you have installed in
IE? Do a Google search on "BHO Demon" to see what BHOs you have.

Have you tried using msconfig.exe or Mike Lin's Startup applet to
disable all programs that load on Windows startup, restarted, and see if
the ghost connects still occur? If not, you're loading something on
Windows startup that does this.

Got anything in Task Scheduler that would need a network connection to
run?
