What does 'Established' Mean and is Web Site Blocked?

Thread needs solution

When I run Nirsoft's currports program, it lists an undesirable Web site as associated with a number of Acronis TI executables, primarily askore.exe, but other Acronis TI executables as well.

(I've never knowingly accessed that Web site - I say 'knowingly', because it's possible that an attempt to go to a good Web site was redirected - but I'd thought that the various protections I have would have prevented that.)

It also shows the Web site associated with FireFox.exe. FF is running.

What currports is doing is showing the currently open ports (duh!) and the executables associated.

The undesirable Web site is never shown as 'Listening' - only as 'Established'.

1) Does the fact that the Web site is listed mean that ATI is blocking it?

2) If so, why is FireFox shown as associated with it?

3) Do I have to manually configure ATI to block the site? If so, how do I do that?

Thanks for any insight.

Bill, welcome to these public User Forums.

Sorry but aakore in ATI 2021 communicates with various Acronis web sites as part of both the Acronis Active and Cyber Protection features - all of which are not documented to my knowledge by Acronis!

There are no options that I am aware of to configure ATI to block sites accessed by its own components!

An established connection means that a handshake has taken place, credentials exchanged where needed and a conversation is possible between the two ends of the connection.

Thanks very much - very helpful.

"and a conversation is possible between the two ends of the connection."

I'll be uninstalling ATI trail.

ATI should never have allowed a connection with that Web site.

If the Web site had tried to establish a connection, ATI should have blocked, or at least asked me so I could have refused the connection.

Hello Bill,

could you please share more details in PM about the web site your program listed as one associated with aakore.exe? Basically, aakore.exe does only authorization and routing requests for other components and shall not call any web sites.
