    Respect to the very short log. Most peoples are 3-4 times that

    I see you dont have an anti virus though which really isnt a good idea

    Aside from that, the log seems fine. Apart from the multiple connections (can you explain exactly where your reading that from please?) what issues are you having?

    AVAST or AVIRA (both on filehippo and both free)

    Once installed id suggest a FULL scan (after making sure its upto date)

    Never seen such a bloat free laptop, no free trials, no manufacturer tools. Mind me asking what sort it is?

    Did you use netstat to get that list?

    Have you checked the destination and port of the connections?
