Hi duckman89,

What have you tried so far?

What OS are you using?

Have you checked the Startup Folder?

Have you scanned for trojans and spyware?

Check to see if there are any apps that may be looking for updates automatically.

The auto connect options I believe are in you Internet Option under connections might try looking in there.

You more than likely have an application that upon startup will look for updates or is set to auto connect. I would check the preferences within your various apps to see if any are configured to do this.
