Recently I was having some trouble with my IE - e.g. it took a long time to cloce a page, when I clicked on a link it was knocking out my webradio, etc. In the event viewer I found a lot of log entries like the one below pertaining to the browser. LISA-PC is my wife's PC that is running from the same router. We do not really share anything though at this time. But what is that "server announcement" and how can I stop this? And also the second one may be relevant - both from today.
