Yeah some program on my computer keeps connecting to the internet as soon as I turn on my computer, but I am at a loss as to what it is. Is there any programs out there that can pin point this program on startup?

Type 'msconfig' at Start>Run (no quotes). That'll bring up a list of all the programs you're starting up with, along with an option to disable them at startup. Disable everything except for what you know you need. Start adding them one at a time until the program does it again. The last one you enabled should be the faulty program. Then just do a google search on how to get rid of it.

Spybot Search and Destroy should get rid of it.

Yeah I had already tried Norton AV, Spybot, Ad-Aware, and Stinger, nothing though. I think I have it figured out though, found the program in msconfig. Thanks http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif
