Wait a minute here. Is this port 80 connection on your local port 80
or the remote port 80? What I said applies only if it is the remote
port 80. You should not have any traffic on your local port 80, unless
you run your own server, as Lars said. So: if the attempted connection
is to your local port 80, you'd better block it completely.
