What is descr: in Whois Lookup
When I woke up the computer this morning, netbarrier 2013 was telling me that an "exec netboisd" was trying to connect to "25.186.105.185 on TPC port 445 (Microsoft-ds)" Netbarrier said it was an unknown name, or something like that. When I checked different Whois sites online, about half gave me an invalid address, but the other half gave me the info shown below. When I clicked deny, it tried on port 139.
As you can see the descr: is DINSA, Ministry of Defence
