I got a message that generic host process was connecting to the Internet.
When I did Netstat, I saw four established connections from my computer to
another port on my computer. What is going on? I just reformatted my
computer, deleting the partition and creating a new partition. I reinstalled
Windows XP Home Edition from the disks Dell sent with the computer.
Everything was installed from manufacturer's disks, and I install the bare
minimum.

The criminal who's messing with my computer is able to get into my
apartment. Could he have installed some kind of hardware that would do this?
If so, does anyone know what it would look like and what it would be attached
to? Thank you.

Try running netstat -b (or use a tool like tcpview, available from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Networking/TcpView.mspx )
to find out what process is listening on that port.

By the way, this is a .NET developers newsgroup, not a general purpose
Windows one. I'm aware that some of the MS forum pages don't make that
clear, but it's worth trying to find a general Windows forum for
similar questions.
