netstat shows suspicious connections

since few days, there are lot of suspicoius activities on my desktop like double click does not open the file or database connection.
hence to check it i executed netstat command to see who is connected to my machine
and everytime i have this problem and after i run netstat i get list of connections, one of which is machine of my coworker. everytime i have such unusual behaviors running on my pc and i run netstat i find a connection with my co-workers' machine
the connection was through port - 1865
can you pl help whats going on,,,

sometimes this happens, and everytime i see such supicious behavior of applications I use like double click on that application wont work etc., i find that the machine of my co-worker is connected to my machine
