weird..... beats the hell out of me

if you bring up a command prompt and run netstat , does it say anything there?

Hmmm, basically it means theres a none-existant proccess on your computer making a none-existant connection to a non-existant service. I think your computer may be schitzophrenic. Your initial suggestion of a reformat might be a good idea....

* If you change your computers IP, do the connections persist?

* If you unplug your router from the network does it still attempt the connections?

* What happens in "safe mode with networking?"

* When did it first start happening? Did you change any network settings?

Have you checked for trojans and spyware? Just a thought

:angry: yeah, i updated NAV, ran it, nothing found... i ran ad-aware, deleted alot of stuff, traffic kept going... :blink: :(

Reformat- Its the only way to go :D
Will be dong it myself when i wake up in the morning (Or afternoon, depends when the blood warms up enough :P )
