Not really ASP but don't know where to post this question

[John]

Hi all,

I really don't know where to post this question but it is urgent and I need
resolution on this.

I just re-installed my Windows since it was just downloading something from
the internet. I tracked it to an svchost process but don't know anything
further and I need to find out what app is doing this. The reason for this
is that I'm in South Africa and we get capped with our bandwidth here to 3
Gig/month. After that, the internet is rendered useless until the 1st of the
following month (yeh, I know, welcome to the third world).

Anyway, if I do nothing on my p.c. for a whole day, my connection still
shows me that I've downloaded around 60Meg.

I really need to know how to find out which application is doing this
please.

Regards
John.

That sounds like you've got infected with Spyware.

Download and install the Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...A2-6A57-4C57-A8BD-DBF62EDA9671&displaylang=en

That should catch it.

Make sure you download the updated definitions,
after installing AntiSpyware and before running it,
or you'll have to run it twice.
