Re: something downloading to hard drive constantly

Download SysInternal's FileMon. Allow it to run/log I/O activity. It
should help run down the "Culprit". They also have a Process Explorer
that might help as well.
FileMon can be back traced, so you review the log.

Something is downloading to my hard drive all the time. I have installed
a program to monitor my downloads and lately I noticed that there is a
steady download of .1 to 1.0 kbs. Overnight it downloaded 50mb. It is a
small amount but steady.
I thought initially, spyware but have run 4 programs with 2 of them
outside of my computer so not that. Checked processes and did not see
anything special there.
Any idea,..... anybody?
