I am sincerely sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Please direct me to the proper forum if possible. A couple of entries for "bannerconnect.com" have appeared in the routing table of my laptop. In one case the entry is in both destination and gateway columns and in the other, my IP is in the destination and bannerconnect.com is the gateway entry. It shows as being "up" and as "host". The normal entries are in the table as well and these have not replaced the normal routing entries. I am in a home network using DSL on OSX. Looking back through the daily cron, it appeared on October 30th and that's all I have been able to figure out. I know Apple changed things and that you folks may not be able to help me but what I'm asking about is a probable method of attack. I flushed the table and the entry came back. I believe my hosts file has prevented it from being used by directing it to the loopback but that may be superstition on my part. Thanks, Bob
