    After having installed a DSL connection with a speed
    manager that shows online traffic and transmission speed,
    I noticed that very often when I start Word (Office 2000)
    there happens to be a data exchange both up- and
    downwards.
    I use a modem with integrated router to connect two PCs
    to the internet. The two PCs should not be able to
    communicate with each other. The phenomenon occurs even
    if the other PC is off.
    Is this a Trojan or something at work ? Automatic update
    search is deactivated. I use NAV 2003 updated, the router
    has integrated hardware firewall.
