I hope this is the right place for this. If it is not, I apologize. For no particular reason I became curious as to how much bandwidth I use with my broadband so I downloaded a freeware bandwidth meter. One curious thing I found was that something was constantly using my bandwidth at a rate of about 70k a minute, even when i'm idle. Someone suggested that I create a log with hijackthis and post it here, so here it is. I appreciate any help anyone could give me.
