I don't like the looks of this

Can someone tell me what is going on here?

I checked my router outgoing log and it keeps spitting out the same thing attached below. I know what machine is doing it, but I'm not sure how to stop it.

I also did a netstat and it keeps showing an IP doing some FTP stuff.

Maybe I should set up a firewall machine?

    Do you have the Auto Update enabled? Looks like the Auto Update looking for posible updates from Microsoft...

    Ahh nevermind, I found out what it is.

    It is a program called MySoftware Newsflash. My dad had installed a program for creating business cards and it installed this news thing as well.

    I stopped the program and the outgoing requests stopped. I think it is supposed to somehow tell you if there are new updates for the program, but it only was going to microsoft ftp servers.

    I have no idea.
