No, I have deleted all relevant files to this and disabled it as it is no use to me, Id rather use the normal way if I want to send file(s) to my contacts

In UNIX you have things like lsof, wireshark, snoop etc that you can use to check the traffic on you network. Don't know what's there in Ol' Bills offering. I do use the firewall logs though as they can help.
You could try blocking all traffic on Norton and then check the log as to what is trying to connect and see what complains.

No it was NOT norton, as I said a few posts back, I have deleted the live update program(s) as even though I set it to check ONLY once every 24 hours, it still pops up, makes my CPU usage go to 100%, hogs ALL memory (1GB) and is a pain, so I manually update, and it wasnt Windows Updates either, as this is also disabled & deleted the executables.
I did actually use Norton 360 for a while, but after numerous complaints to them, even "live chat" they couldnt answer 1 simple question : how many times does it have to update before it has the latest versions, as I was constantly updating all day, and it STILL came up with updates, so this was not trusted, and I dropped down to the only reliable version I had purchased, NIS 2005.
