Every hour while the computer is on, it tries to connect
to the internet. I found by looking at the process list
that iexplore.exe was running, and when I closed that,
the attempt to connect stopped. An hour later the
attempt is made again, with the same iexplore.exe in the
process list. I have no viruses and no adware on the
system and have gotten rid of anything in the Scheduled
Tasks that could have been responsible. What could
possibly be causing the hourly attempt to go online?
 
Hi, Dave.

Do you have an application that goes online to synchronize your clock every
hour?
