I have looked throughout the programs in the task manager and cannot find anything that should be issuing DNS queries. This one is confusing me and if you find the trace program to tell what socket is being opened by what program then let me know. It is initiating from a secondary machine in my downstairs office. I have never noticed this before and the only thing running out of the ordinary was a consistently open Word document. The payload definitely contained the host name of that machine, my company's name, and some other garbage I did not have time to decipher. I shut down the Word document with the trace still running but I had to leave. My wife did mention that autosave kicks off every 7 minutes on Word. Is it possible that it would attempt to resolve a host name for some ungodly reason?
