Computer "zg-0421e-34.stretchoid.com" is attempting to access remotepairingdeviced?

Posted: 30-Apr-2022 | 12:05PM · 4 Replies ·

I randomly receive notifications from Norton: the computer "zg-0421e-34.stretchoid.com" is attempting to
access remotepairingdeviced on your computer. Do you want to allow this connection? 

For now I've been blocking. Does anyone know what "zg-0421e-34.stretchoid.com" is? Is it malicious?

The domain resolves to Go Daddy https://www.ip-tracker.org/lookup/whois.php?query=stretchoid.com

Do you have any logs with an IP address associated with this alert?

Opt out? Removal of the browser redirects is the issue. Malwarebytes full scan should be the first step!! The HOW this arrived on the computer is the unknown, OEM's and AV creators cannot, monitor what every user does or doesn't do. Nor whether they have installed the latest security updates. Much the same as with Windows machines. There are rules in the Norton firewall as defaults. MAC or Windows it shouldn't differ in a sense that one OS doesn't see the same alerts as the other. My best suggestion is if an unknown entity requests a network connection, find the IP of that connection, resolve WHO it belongs to, do not second guess that its safe. Safe Web has been prone to false information in the past and present. Err on the side of caution!!
