Very unlikely. The code would also have to be quite small. You also
wouldn't see any traffic using netstat if the problem was in the
router.
Are all the connections to the same source IP? If so, then it possibly
is a DoS. If not, you probably have some P2P app running hidden like
Kazaa media desktop or winmx or limewire.
Check what app's are installed and remove any that are unnecessary.
Your AV may also be compromised. Go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com
and do a full scan on your computer. If the page fails to load,
chances are you have a virus which is stopping you from accessing this
page and disabling your AV\Firewall. Turn Off System Restore before
you clean the virus.
