Hi All,
I have 3 icons in my system tray.
1. Local Area connection
2. Internet Connection
3. Bridge linking 1&2.
1&2 are continuously sending and receiving packets. I have installed
multiple Antivirus, Firewalls and Spyware programs, none of which detected
anything. This problem started about 4 weeks ago. Any ideas on how to stop
this activity would be helpful?
Thanks.
John.
John,
Every computer, when connected to the network, will show network traffic, as
being on the network involves talking to other computers. Most Antivirus,
Firewalls and Spyware programs, if they are worth anything, will check with
their home servers to see if any changes are required. This will generate still
more traffic.
If you're truly concerned about malware, stop what you're doing. Get
HijackThis, make a scan of your computer, and have the scan interpreted by
experts.
