The other day I was looking at my Comodo connection and found that at times IE8 had opened up over 50 connections. Anyone else experience this? When I close IE8 and have nothing else open I have 2 outbound system connections (IP is my ISP so prob. for background traffic between my system and my
ISP) and nothing else.

Some sites open up as many as 100 outbound connections and then they fall off in about a few minutes.

Antivir system scan and Sypbot reveal nothing of note.
