I am futzing with a Gateway laptop using XPhome SP2. As soon as you plug the thing in to a LAN connection, it seems like it spews packets like no tomorrow. The packets sent under the LAN status goes from 0 to 25 million + in a few seconds and keeps climbing at an exponential rate. It doesn't seem to consume much in the way of CPU resources or even network resources...although I can't browse anywhere with it. I have updated the definitions and scanned for viruses (Norton 2004), scanned with Spybot, Ad Aware, TDS-3, Trojan Hunter and tried MS's detection tool. I tried resetting the Winsock and checked some known ports for IRC-type connections. The problem is rather stubborn, can't say I've ever seen something like this before....
I have yet to try MS's Antispyware tool or Hijack This. Any other ideas before I try these tools?
