   I did once, about two years ago.  On my wife's old Linux PC I got spooked one   
   morning, probably around 0900 (still before my first coffee), when I started   
   up Fire Fox.  While FF was starting I noticed on a desktop application called   
   Conky that an _outbound_ IP connect was being attempted to what looked like a   
   hacker/smacker/hip-hop gee-whiz dangerous-sounding website!   
      
   Wham!  I hit the big red power switch!  (Not really big or red but you know   
   what I mean.)  I was in a full on panic.  That was the first time the PC had   
   been powered down in nearly four years.   
      
   When I sheepishly re-started the PC later, Linux was smiling at me.  (I could   
   tell it was having fun at my uneasiness.)  No harm had been done.  The website   
   turned out to be linked to a FF add-on that I had installed a couple of nights   
   previously.  I just hadn't taken note of the support website on the first   
   access.  Oops.  :)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
