I have a slow dial up. The modem does not disconnect after I disconnect the
service. Something is keeping the connection opened and data is being down
loaded. There is no author identified with the activity. Therefore I
manually kill the operation. The XP firewall shows no "holes". I am hoping
that it is just the auto update but I would have thought they would have
identified the process as at least a Microsoft process. I will be getting
broadband this month so I am concerned. I can easily kill the downloads now
but they may only take a second with broad band. I want to know what is what
before then.

I would like to know if the autoupdate downloads anonymously.
 
Try installing Zone Alarm Free firewall. This will be able to show you what
program/application is going out to the Internet.
