I use an external modem on my home computer when
connecting to the net and when I double click the icon on
task bar to check activity level it displays a continual
level of activity with both sending and receiving even
though no emails are being sent or received or any web
sites loading! Both levels constantly rise until
disconnected. Upon reconnection the levels are again low
but start to rise immediately! I am running Windows XP.
 
Do you have any automatic downloading enabled for any of your
applications, including Windows Update?

Have you ran any updated anti-virus and anti-spyware programs to check
for viruses and spyware? Maybe you have a zombie lurking on your
machine that is participating is an attack on another host.
