I attempted to get my email and an Avast message popped up telling me
something about SSL scanning. I clicked OK to see it and I got the
following graphic listing my IP (Knology)and one called hwng.net.
Why is it there and am I supposed to get rid of it.
btw, my email worked properly.

Here's what Avast showed.

it seems Avast has determined this from some something in your computer
the surest way to find out what it's for is to block it and see if
anything stops working.
