    Luidinno,

    This is a security patch that you are trying to delete.
    MS03-026: Buffer Overrun in RPC May Allow Code Execution

    - Why are you insistent on deleting these security patches?
    - Are you strictly deleting the folders that these are in or are you going
    to Control Panel to "uninstall" them? [Uninstall is the proper way, if this
    is indeed what you are trying to do.]

    Regarding your DSL connection, Internet traffic is a continuous thing
    regardless of your computer activity and there are hackers/viruses/etc. that
    are continually probing your DSL modem/router to try to break into your
    machines. For instance, I'm on a cable modem and router (with NAT) and I see
    continual traffic even when every computer and network printer is powered
    off. Since I'm firewalled, I don't concern myself too much about this
    activity. If I didn't run a NAT and software firewall, I'd be very concerned
    about what it is doing!
