Status counting

[Mike Jones]

The "Internet Connection Status" shows the Packets Sent count incrementing
for "My Computer", and Packets Received count incrementing for "Internet
Gateway and My Computer". How do I find out what program is transmiting
and how do I stop it?

Perform some scans for malicious software first, then fix any
remaining issues:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

They can be uninstalled later if desired.

"Increment" is not a verb...

You can use Wireshark to display Ethernet traffic.

Under View:Name Resolution, tick all the options, so that IP addresses
are translated to symbolic names. That may help you identify where the
packets are going.
