Recently there has been unauthorised use of my ADSL ISP account on four seperate occasions. On each occasion i changed my password, multiple letters and numbers.

However this continues to happen.
I have scanned the system with full, updated versions, of Norton 2002/2002, panda online scan, and mcaffee online scan.
I have also mapped the drive accross lan, and scanned with norton from a 'clean' system. On all occasions i have detected nothing.

As of yesterday i installed zonealarm pro.
From a fresh boot, this is what is accessing the net.

Generic Host Process for win32 services
listening to ports:TCP: 3003,3002 UDP:53,67

Generic Host Process for win32 services
listening to ports:TCP: 2869, 5000

These are marked down as two seperate processes.
Is this normal?!?

Those are part of Windows XP (svchost.exe)
With Zone Alarm Pro, you can block them easily, but I have known some where it prevented their internet access.
As far that being your culprit, that would make Microsoft or trojan attached to that service illegally.
