Why does ntoskrnl.exe want to break out and report to the mother ship?

Been directing Sygate to not allow.

more info is needed in order to help you out. can you please elaborate on your problem.

ntoskrnl.exe controls the boot screen and can be used by a virus (w32.bolzano?)
Keep it blocked by your firewall for now and run some antivirus checks.

Go to http://www.leelarson.net/ntoshelp.htm for related information, but be careful if you're going to make any changes.

Thanks Koala,
Have AVG full-time and have scanned with Ewido and AVK.
Also Spybot, SpywareGuard, SpywareBlaster and Ad-Aware, everything came back clean except for the typical cookies (adware).

Wonder if it's got something to do with MS and product activation (anti-piracy)?

It has something to do with Netbios and/or Client for Microsoft Networking. Search the Sygate forums for many posts on the subject. In any case, it's normal network traffic.

Copy that.

Thanks Resolution.
