What I would recomend you do is this.
Drop to dos.
Useing Netstat -ano
look for anything with an open connection or open port possibly connected port.
The last set of numbers are that ports process id.
Then use Tasklist and find the PID, to find out whats got that port open.
From here you can then do a taskkill /pid #### and shut the process down. see taskkill help for more details.
Do this until you have shut down all open connections and are happy that your computer is no longer sending anything over the net.
They check your monitor, if your still shwoing a little traffic, and your not on some network or using some proxy for net access, then download WireShark and run that.
WireShark will let you examine each packet being sent or received. its good for things like this.
You will probably find its keep alive signales being sent and received from your router. or your isp, or something else thats not harmfull..
If you are UBER Paranoid tho, you might want to look into rootkits, A rootkit is different from a common trojan, its purpose is to plant itself on a system giving its user a backdoor in and keeping itself hidden from even the system admins. these are more common on linux systems, but can be found for windows. if you have done all of the above and your still worried, then try a fresh install of windows, if you still see the traffic after a fresh install then its probably an OS thing, and nothing to panic about.
