Strange connections since some days

Hey!

I am not sure if I am right here, but probably you have a clue what my next steps could be.

I get notified by my Synology router since some days that there are strange connections coming from my PC, and they were blocked. Interesting is, that there are 3-4 IP addresse, and there is one try every minute +1 second - so at 7:51:50, then 7:52:51.. IPs are 138.199.37.227, 138.199.36.8 and 138.199.36.11.

I tried to track down what is happening. I already tried this: - Ran windows full scan - nothing - Installed Malwarebytes - nothing - Checked task manager and stopped everything I thought it could create the issue - nothing.

Then I installed wireshark, where I hoped I could find out which program is trying this connection. I could find this result:

Do you have any idea how I can further check what is going on It looks interesting that the port it wants to connect to is always changing.

Kind regards, Jack
