Description
Hi! I've been using VBox since Jan 2014. Since last year I keep getting Threats Blocked messages by my AVAST Internet Security. Threats messages read: "We’ve safely blocked connection on Sportgoods.co.in because infected with URL:Mal.
We’ve safely blocked connection on Spmpart.com because infected with URL:Mal.
We’ve safely blocked connection on Tektasarim.com because infected with URL:Mal. " This threat is quite annoying. And always shows that Virtual Box is trying to contact the above 3 sites!?! I'm running Virtual box under Windows-10, fully updated. The guest system runs Windows XP.

You don't provide VBox.log despite bug submission guidelines. Which network attachment do you use? If you use NAT, it's most likely the guest that makes those connections.
