My computer demands Google

[XperiAnce]

My pc is constantly trying to access the IP: 173.194.0.103

I did a whois, and it belongs to Google.
http://whois.domaintools.com/173.194.0.103

I don't have the Google Toolbar installed, nor Google Earth, not Chrome.
Any idea what could be causing this?

The process using the connection is a generic svchost.exe

Use the Microsoft (sysinternals) process explorer to see what process is running behind svchost.

Did you at any time have any google apps installed? Just wondering if it's not the google installer/updater process running in the background.

No google apps installed, did a double check and there's nothing (not even a Google toolbar for IE)

Thanks for the sysinternals tip, I'll wait till the svchost starts downloading again (does it once a day) and will report back
Did a full scan with NOD32 as well as Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware and turned up nothing.

So weird.

Load up wireshark and have a look at http traffic its sending/receiving to google.

Sorry for the late reply, so here it is: Process 1008

Still trying to access another 173.194.*.* IP.
