Windows 10: Connections to 127.0.0.1 showing up in Process Monitor

All of my hosts file entries use 0.0.0.0.

I noticed strange network activity on my PC yesterday and checked process monitor. I saw a number of connections to 1-1ads.com, despite that site being present in my hosts file and in my routers URL block list.
The connections were showing against system processes, Corsairlink.exe and openvpn.exe. When I ran firefox connections to 1-1ads.com also showed against that.

I ran malwarebytes scan and a hitmanpro scan. I checked for unwanted applications having been installed.
I cleared my browser cache and cookies and flushed my DNS cache.

Malwarebytes and HitmanPro found nothing.

Rebooted and the connections disappeared.Then today I look at process monitor to see if they were present and instead I see a bunch of connections to 127.0.0.1 despite not specifying the loop back address anywhere. Again, on system programs and running applications.

A while ago I had a similar symptom with those processes showing connections to events.gfe.nvidia.com but I didn't think much of it other then it was unusual since that address is also blocked in my hosts file and router.

But now it's getting just a little too weird.

Anyone seen similar behavior? Should I be worried about it?

Raid 0 help

Hi all, I've followed the IRST raid installation directions and I have created myself a Raid 0 volume. Rapid storage confirms my successful migration from a system disc to a raid 0 array. I'm also able to select it as my boot device in BIOS, but what I don't understand is why it is not listed in my Drives under my computer

In fact, my computer still lists my original C: drive with the original capacity. I feel as if I've miss an important step here and I'm unsure how to proceed.
