    Hi

    As HJT doesnt show everything that could be going on with your PC, but looking at what you have installed seems fine, but its likely a Windows Update, Apple iTunes/iPod upadate or a game you have that uses Steam and its updating as all these updates can be in the 100s of Megabytes.


    ?

    Is this ment to be I'm not trying to download anything? or you are trying to download and the bandwidth is taken up with this mystery download?

    Possible app and one I use that could highlight whats downloading is this http://www.netlimiter.com/download.php get the Free Netlimiter 2 app and then check what software could be downloading.

    Hi Halo,Yes I meant to say "Im not downloading anything".Yeah your probably correct regarding Steam etc.
    I was out today and the pc was running for 6 hours and DL 117mb of I dont know what.Its stopped now but its done over 450mb in the last 3 days at approx.6 to 8 hours a day.
    Thanks very much for your time,appreciated.

    Hi Mark

    Having another look over your HJT log there is a few things I would look at and this one I would fix O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file) and fix this one O20 - Winlogon Notify: dimsntfy - %SystemRoot%\System32\dimsntfy.dll (file missing) and do you know what this IP address is O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{AC884F24-EDE5-4C54-B74D-48230AC517B9}: NameServer = 203.194.27.57 203.194.56.150

    as 450mb over 3 days is a fair bit if your not actively downloading anything, I would install Netlimiter2 and if you have any downloading start up again, see what application is doing this.

    Also check Windows update and its History log as there have been for some users large .NET updates of late, so check the dates of updates to see if some large ones co-inside with this.

    Hi Mark

    Ok thats good on it being your ISP, so leave that one alone.

    If it does start downloading then hopefully should be able to track what application is doing the downloading with Netlimiter.

    Hi Halo,
    I think what the problem was Open office,Steam and something else downloadin as you suggested.OpOf DLoaded 93MB which wasnt a complete DL(Im sure u know how long that took on dialup).I wasnt aware this was happening or DLoading and as it turned out OpOf couldnt be installed because it was incomplete.I used Download manager to get it today and deleted the incomplete one and all is sweet now.ATM as I type there is no unknown DL.
    I thank you for your help and believe me you helped a lot.
    All the best

    Mark.

    PS I just got netlimiter.
