So I downloaded Honeyview and was looking at my connection history for various programs, and then I found this. What exactly is it sending?

We told you it was a botnet. You didn't listen.

I didn't know. Is jpegview safe? I feel like kicking myself for downloading Honeyview now.

But what is it doing connecting to amazon? I'll fully admit I'm pretty illiterate and overly paranoid when it comes to these things, which is why I'm asking

AWS is a hosting service.

it is sending your personal data to amazon, what else do you think it would be doing?
if you don't want your computer to spy on you install a free OS such as GNU/Linux

I hate looking like an idiot and asking so many questions, but what does it need to connect to a hosting service for?

I know I shouldn't complain about privacy when using Windows, but I still don't feel like making the switch to Linux right now. Maybe I'll try to get used to it in a VM or something

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

It doesn't.
They probably collect usage statistics.

Couldn't someone just block the connections using firewall?

Couldn't they just delete all of your hentai if the connection fails?

wincuck btfo

why would anyone use this when wireshark exists?

>being a winbabby
