a new windows network detected, added to the internet zone.... 70.123.112.0

My mom who lives too far away for me to help out in person said she came to her computer which had been left on to find a few screens open. They all seemed fine... it's just what they are for that concerns her. One was telling her that a new network was detected.... and something else was sying that something was added to the internet zone? And her software fireall which I think is called EZ firewall was telling her about an ip of 70.123.112.0 which I think was the ip added to the internet zone.

I dunno what to tell her, I just said to run as man antivirus programs as she can, and to run some spyware programs I know she has.

Anyone have an idea?

That translates to this:

cpe-70-123-112-0.houston.res.rr.com

Know anyone in Houston using Road Runner? Is that your mom's ISP?

Yeah it is... hrm. But I had her check her IP address, and it was similar but not the same. Maybe it changed? Probably not even worth worrying over.

Have her run WNTIPCFG, click "More Info" and see what it says for DNS Servers.
