My PC is communicating with 140.211.167.105 without my knowledge. I just found this today and traced the IP address to stormfly-02.osm.osuosl.org. I can't find the software on my PC that is doing this. How do I stop this communication? Please email me an answer ASAP to gbugh@yahoo.com I don't want to signup on this webpage because I don't even know what this is but I had to to ask this question.

I was going to: https://db-ip.com and they were drawing maps on the webpage.
Yesterday I thought I saw svchost.exe going to that IP address but this morning I see only firefox.exe going there so I guess that's all it was.
