Just playing the new Casino Monopoly by HTS and my Comodo Firewall just prompted me that MFME101a is trying to access the internet using 224.0.0.22 - IGMP.

Never had that message before - Googled it and cannot see anything dodgy out of it.

Anyone else?

Based on the actual MFME source code, this is impossible.

First of all, 224.0.0.x is reserved for multicast requests. An IGMP request on one of these addresses is most likely to some sort of multimedia server (like a LAN-based media server / WebTV server or similar - many LAN-based external HDDs would use such a protocol). If you have such a system set up somewhere on your LAN, then it could be that opening a layout was trying to make a discovery request across your LAN to see what shared drives were available for instance. This is OK. If you don't have one of these (or drivers for one), then I'd be highly suspicious that your copy has somehow become "infected" with some sort of malware or whatever.

Best way to check for sure is to compare the checksum on the mfme.exe file. 10.1a has the following checksum (on my system anyway):

CRC32: 65c62e68
MD5: 68b459b24616b5eb424efebdb34f7236

Thank you DT. I'll check it later - never run checksum on Vista.
