Have you tried scanning for viruses?
Are you on a broadband connection and do you have a firewall?

Let me suggest that you should get one. ZoneAlarm and Sygate are free ones you can download.
I'm guessing that you either have a virus or someon'e storing their stuff on your comp. You may want to check aroud for things that don't belong. I don't mean to scare you; I'm sure there are a few other possibilites. |

If you are using WinXP or ME, your system restore could be eating it up.
