Thank you all for the replies. I will try them all out once I get home. I do at least run Ad-aware weekly to see if I have spyware, but I get a maximum of 2 items, with over 250,000 items scanned. I am in the process of buying virus protection, probably Norton since they have some specials going on.

I do know for sure that at times when I'm not using my computer, and the other computer is also not being used, the "activity" light on the modem blinks. Yesterday, I saw the "activity" light blinking, despite the fact that I wasn't running anything at all, I proceeded to disconnect my ethernet cable (to my computer) from the router and the light stopped blinking. When I connected the cable back into the router, the light started blinking again after a while. Interesting...

Thanks for all your help.
