You must have an "always on" broadband connection, right? Being
online doesn't use any substantial resources.

Play your games and don't worry about it.

Since you didn't tell us how you connect to the Internet, we can't give
you focused help.

If you connect using dialup, then something you have starting with
Windows is trying to get online. This something can be malware or
legitimate. You find out what it is by 1) scanning for viruses and
malware; 2) using the System Configuration Utility to see what is
starting with Windows.

If you connect with broadband (DSL or cable), that's the way broadband
works.

Here are links to show you how to do the suggestions above:

If you need more help after doing that, please do post back after
looking at this link to see what details you need to include:
