Sometimes when I d/l newspapers or the weather and the d/l has completed,
the icons in the lower right bar show that something is continuing to d/l
although my computer doesn't show anything. I manually disconnect, because I
haven't requested anything, and I'm concerned that some program might be
accessing my computer. Is this a possibility, or can someone suggest other
reasons for the continuation of a d/l. Thanks for any help......Kim
 
Do you by any chance use "AdShield" to block images?
If so click on the Icon on your Tool bar and unselect "Cache unlisted pages"

If not the issues, check for parasites.

Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.

Important: "So how did I get infected in the first place?"

Many thanks for your suggestions. I don't use 'AdShield' but I will follow
your directions. Guess I've been infected, after all. Take
care..............Kim
