eservicesupport.us.dell.com - multiple persistent connections

Norton Statistics often shows as many as 10 open connections to eservicesupport.us.dell.com.
These are TCIP and UDP connections on ports such as 123,1027,1060,1061,1609, 1900,2014, etc.
They stay open until logout and are associated with the browser, svchost, CCproxy.

TIA for any help on shutting these down.

Ah welcome to the world of persistent connections...................in the beginning of browse life and Tim Berners Lee all HTML objects fetched from a web server - were done on one or two persistent connections....to fetch images, text, cookies etc tec.

Then along came Microsoft with I.E and thought - we can speed up our browser - by opening many connections ...the more the merrier......so that you have a stream of TCP flows for each web site.

This is dependent on your browser S/w - and trying to shut them down or stop them will interfere with your experience of the web sites you visit

So Netscape/Mozilla prefers less persistent connections, Microsoft likes lots.......c'est la vie
