My router is the same model as yours Sony. I don't use Charter either and am connected by cable.
The appearance of the mosow.eau connection also reflects the internal 192.168.101 ip apparently generated by the router. The connection seems to be PC#1 connecting to PC#2 Both are hardwired to the router. It is on PC#1 that I found the moscow entries in the registry using Registry Crawler. None of my scanning stuff found them. I did a whole sale reg clean and in poking around found about 4,000 directories in HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2025429265-1580436667-1801674531-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\ that relate to mostly pop up and other spyware type connections that happened over the past year or two. Those directories appear to be void of any useful data, probably due to the registry cleaner (Registry Medic 3). It removed 100+ entries. But those thousands of directories are still there. Just trying to figure my next step.
Haven't rulled out a clean install and start fresh with a new attitude about security.
