For some reason, I am having constant internet activity of an average speed of 5.60KB/s for both download and upload. I have no programs that should be useing my internet connection, I have also scanned for viruses, spyware and adware... and it came up with nothing. I also end tasked as much as I could in windows task manager and my internet is still active. I also disabled automatic updates... my virus scanner update says it's idle and up to date. Any idea whats using up my ADSL connection? Thanks in advance!

Try to look in the internet option. (Tools => internet options => Connections. Maybe a wrong dailer or something is installed there. After one wrong click on a webpage it could be set. This thing must be deleted. (it can be found in that box "Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings". If this box is empty, try to look in the "LAN Settings". Check if also everything is normal there. Gender doesn't matter in the Computing world. Commom sence does. Don't forget that.

Thanks for the reply, All those settings appear to be normal. No dialers or anything. AMD Athlon64 3200+ @ 2.0GHZ MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum MB 2x 1GB Cosair PC3200 DDR400 Corsair Ram 120GB SATA Western Digital HD LG DVD-RW drive Cool Drive 4 ATI Radeon X800XL 256mb DDR3<b

Did this suddenly happen or was this actually from the start? And is your computer behind a router or something? Or is it directly connected to the internet? Gender doesn't matter in the Computing world. Commom sence does. Don't forget that.
