What the hell is wrong with M$ paint?

Name: 4tran 2010-01-20 3:23

Every time I try to save something on paint, it tries to connect to some random ip, eg 69.94.107.14, though the last number varies slightly (~10-50).  It would be less annoying if it didn't take 5 minutes for paint to do this.  Strangely, nothing irregular happens if I pull my network cable.  Any idea what's going on?  That ip doesn't seem very suspicious.

Is there a default copy of mspaint.exe I can compare with?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Looks clean to me, doesn't seem to do anything unusual, and looks like it was compiled using the usual compiler settings MS uses.
I happen to have an older version of MS Paint, so I did a binary compare, and it was almost identical, differences were in the version number, and IAT offsets which are platform specific. It seems MS did not even change anything in the code or text/data as it all matched perfectly.
So it's probably not MS Paint's fault, however, it could be something like a shell extension that is at fault. Did you try saving other things in other applications besides MS Paint, and did you get similar results?
