This domain was detected as part of a peice of software called password viewer. this peice of software is malware that sends all trafic to a godaddy server.
You can protect yourself from this by removing it with malwarebytes.
However the trojan that installs it is removable with superantispyware.
I recommend running these before allowing the connection.
Well, for me Kasp takes care, by keeping that fellow incommunicado. But probably that may be a doubtful information, since these are the Microsoft servers domains, unless Microsoft itself is compromised or are deliberately compromising their official, licenced users.
