Hi,

A wild thought : is there any chance that it's your own computer that is 
trying to make you connect to it? Just try blocking anything to localhost, and 
you'll be set (don't forget to unblock afterwards it though, as it would 
result in very weird behaviour). 

Simply quitting/uninstalling KRDC might do the trick too.
