Data being sent in alarming numbers but none being received

My LAN connection is pushing enormoust amounts of data -
2.5 billion packets in 12 hours - with none being
received. When I highlight the connection and tell it to
repair, it errors-out with the message my tcp/ip
connection is disabled. I cannot connect to my network at
work, only at home. I've scanned with Norton AV, Adaware
6, and loaded the most recent XP patches.

Also, when I try to update my Norton AV, it is trying
patch the Norton program with a script blocker and it
fails to update every time.

Does anyone have any ideas? I've unloaded and reloaded
the connection and killed process, but none will work.

I think I've got a sneaky spyware application running

sounds like you've got a virus. i had the same situation.
try running a free McAfee scan. also, while the data is
being spewed, check the processes tab of your Windows Task
Manager. If it's dllhost.exe or svchost.exe that's using
most of your cpu power, you've got the same virus i did.
was able to find it with McAfee. there are probably other
similar viruses around as well. they're hitting a lot of
people.
