Help
Hello and sorry if i am not posting this in the right forum.
Ever since i installed a bunch of windows updates, (not service pack 2 yet) i been having constant internet activity, i am currently using dial up and being receiving more than 3k bytes a second for no aparent reason. i ran spyware doctor and removed all of it, but it didnt help my problem.
I think the problem is related to windows update because i get the windows update icon on my tray, nevertheless it says downloading updates: 0% and never changes i cannot pause it or anything.
And removing the windows automatic updates on control panel will also remove the downloading icon, but it wont stop the constant activity and bytes receiving.
I am asking for help, i tried to restore my system but it wont let me. I am getting dsl next week and i would suck to have the same problem.
Thanks in advance,
Israel.

Thanks for the quick response and all the help,
Well yeah i did what you told me to. Closed all programs and ran netstat -ano, resulted in only one established connection to: 64.4.20.93.
Arin WHOIS has this IP registered as Hotmail. I dont know what am i receiving from them, but in an hour and a half connected i have already received 30 megabytes (just browsing a few sites)which looks pretty wierd and never happened before.

None of the above 
Checked for viruses and found none either. I think i'll just wait and see if whatever its downloading is done when i wake up tomorrow.
Doesn not seem to be any reasons for this. Thanks a lot for your help, and have fun on doom

I just started having this problem. What was the outcome of the suggestions? Which one(s) worked?
I don't seem to be getting any files added to my drive. I keep
rechecking my C-drive properties and do not see any change to the
used space/free space stats while this activity is going on.
I am on a dial up. The ISP tech support says they never heard of this problem.
