That's a multicast address. Most firewalls will allow you to block IGMP. Unless you have a specific need, I would recommend that you block it.

I reported things calling out to this addy before with no real explanation received now my AV wants to call there after every update.

I know of no reason for this to be happening unless there is some kind of malware useing that addy.

Any idea anyone at all?
