I see, so you are in a network environment, either school or business but somewhere the computer is not actually owned and operated by you.
then hell yes you are being monitored...
Many places have monitoring equipment to monitor inbound and outbound traffic. Your PC/Mac is probably remotely managed in some capacity wherein drivers, OS updates, configuration scans, and other "Big Brother" type things are being done.
Is it nefarious? Maybe, but more than likely not.
