| 336217 | 2005-03-20 21:48:00 | Greetings. I have found that something is happening inside my PC (win2k) that is gobbling up all my bandwidth. Yesterday I was recording up to 40mb of useage every 1/2 hour with absolutely no applications running. I ran AVG, spybot and adaware, but nothing found. It seems i may have to buy some software to clean this out. Does anyone know of anything that will do this job. ? Thanks |

| 336219 | 2005-03-20 22:00:00 | in addition to Speedy's excellent advice , perhaps a firewall such as Zone Alarm's freebee may help identify just what is using your bandwidth www.zonelabs.com works well , and the price is right ... |
