Hi everyone,

I have noticed on my connection status when online that there is always 1 monitor lighting up (in the taskbar) indicating that there is data transferring from my computer. I have updated & run ad-aware & Spybot & they have cleared up everything but it is still happening. I am running Win 2K. I also have Norton Internet security '05 installed. I have disabled this also but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions??? Cheers :confused:

Do you have a software firewall running? If not, it's a good idea to install one. It should tell you what is transferring data out of your computer. It's not necessarily an indication of something malicious.

Hi just to let you know, i have installed zonealarm firewall and has sorted things out. The Norton firewall doesn't seem to clever. Thanks for your help. :)
