    NDIS User mode I/O Driver

    NDIS User mode I/O Driver is being connected by the remote machine [ip
    address] using local port xxxxx. Do you want to allow this program...
    Trying to connect every since I started using a new ISP.

    Safe? What is it?

    It would help to know the IPs and ports, if you'd be willing to post
    or email them, as well as the location of the application. However,
    off the bat it looks very suspect. First because you may be using
    ISP-provided software -- that's a big, big no-no. Second, NDIS
    driver's shouldn't be user mode. the NDIS driver is what takes data
    from an upper-layer protocol (I.E. TCP/IP, which is what the Internet
    uses to commumnication) and sends it out the hardware. It shouldn't be
    user mode: it's a driver, and part of the system.

    IOW, if you can connect to the Internet without it, then it is more
    likely to be malicious or suspicious than anything useful.

    Will post them when the item pops-up again. Could it be the new DSL modem
    for this ISP?

    Re: NDIS User mode I/O Driver

    Possible that it is the "Help Desk" software bundled in, both BellSouth and Verizon have
    the same thing and I just deinstalled them with no ill effects..

    No software installed when the new ISP service started. Just plugged in
    modem, added my personal account info and connected fine.
