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.

Avast

Avast!!
Use it now!!!

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