Computer downloading for no apparent reason (was WTF are VM upto now??)
Right, I have just noticed something VERY strange with my internet connection, I reboot my pc, log into windows (with wireless disabled & wired unplugged) I have nothing at all open that accesses the net, (I have even deleted the automatic updater for my internet security for this test too), no MSN, no IncrediMail open, but as soon as I enable my wireless connection for the internet, it gets an IP address and then I notice in DU meter, something starts downloading, now it starts off with a few KB/s and then after exactly 18 seconds its as big as 247.8KB/s as the maximum transfer rate, and within a minute, I have downloaded over 7MB of data???
Now as I said before, I dont have anything running when this happens, hell I have even done a fresh install of XP, only other software installed is DU meter, and also TaskManager backs this downloaded data up as the graph is consistant with DU meter, so my question is; WTF is happening and what is this data that is being downloaded?? I am writing this with my wireless disabled, so I know that nothing is getting on this pc! PLEASE HELP!!!! |

What with the recent security issues, it is starting to make me a bit para, and I know this has never happened before! Could somebody that has DU meter please test this for me? Even better, does anyone know of any software (free or otherwise) that can instantly tell you which application you have open is sending / recieving data to the internet, and how much? |
Re: WTF are VM upto now??

Yes of course I thought of that :) So I logged into my router, viewed the DHCP table, and the only ones in the list are my desktop pc, mine & my partner's laptops & the Wii, nothing else, then again,I do have my security tighter than a ducks backside, but thats just me! |
Re: WTF are VM upto now??

Re: WTF are VM upto now??
I think the router transfers basic information through the network depending on what you have enabled. For example, I have folders on my PC that I can access through my laptop.
It's all I can think of. |

I have task manager open constantly, and as such, I know every process thats open, and it certainly aint that! To aid help, it is booted up and all the clutter MSN, IncrediMail, mouse drivers and the like are quit, so its basically the standard, default essential stuff thats open,I dont have any spyware (unless VM are deploying Phorm via silent, unattended setup) and certainly no viruses or any other parasites (well, unless you count Microsoft products lol) I really do not know what else to do, I cannot connect direct to the modem, as the house wouldn't be impressed if the little un got woken up as the modem & router is in her room ontop of a wardrobe. |

The PID codes are: 0 - System Idle process 4 - System 912 - lsass.exe 1092 - svchost.exe (There are 6 of these, 3 as SYSTEM, 2 in NETWORK SERVICE, 1 as LOCAL SERVICE) 1444 - CCPROXY.EXE (internet security - norton) 2464 - ALG.EXE (Local Service) So I cant see anything out of the ordinary so far, but will definately check them links out! Thanks again! :) |
