Firewall Question

I recently installed AVG Virus + Firewall. It's been working fine until
today. Suddenly, I get a message from the program whenever I either enable
or disable my internet connection. The message is to the effect that:

"Application 'SYSTEM' is trying to establish a TCP/IP connection with remote
IP Address 207.68.178.61"

It asks me to allow or block. But I apparently have to go through some
elaborate steps if I want to set up a permanent rule.

Before I do that I'm wondering what the remote site is all about. When I
enter the remote address in the IE address bar, it comes back "Access
Denied"

Please advise.
 
It's a Microsoft IP address. Could be the WGA Notification tool, windows
automatic update, etc.
