Default svchost connecting to 255.255.255.255


svchost.exe is attempting to connect to this IP 255.255.255.255 each time I connect to internet. This IP address belongs to :

OrgName: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
OrgID: IANA
Address: 4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 330
City: Marina del Rey
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 90292-6695
Country: US

I wonder why is my computer connecting that IP, is something fishy here? I did not find any trojans in my system. Any useful idea?

I am pretty sure that this is something malicious. Which AV did you use to scan?
Check this out. It may help.

I use Avast, calmwin antivirus, spybot S&D, Ashampoo antispyware2 and windows defende. Comodo firewall pro is the firewall.

Try with AVG 8.0 or Avira.
Both of them have higher detection rates than Avast!
