Well, I use avg and zonealarm, with aoutoupdate, but even with those
temporarily turned off, I still get the connnections. I have no file sharing
programs installed. When I am not browsing or emailing, chatting etc, I like
to see no downloading activity going on. It all began when a friend asked me
to look on the local public bus system's website for maps and scheduling
info last week. Want the URL so you can get infected? :-)

Thanks for the info, now I still don't like the idea.
