Internet connection status icon on all the while

[Guest mondeoman]

The internet connection status icon is continually showing that my computer

is sending data. When I click on it and check the details of the status it

shows it is sending about 100 bytes per second. This did not happen before,

or if it did send whilst I was not active on the computer it would only be

for a brief period. Now it is sending continuously. I have run Adaware and

Norton 360 scans and found no problems. Help please.

I'd contact Symantec Support about this before doing anything else. N360 is

constantly "talking" with home base.

I would start by uninstalling Norton.

Thanks PA bear. Good idea. I have just checked with Nortons live support.

There view was that if Norton is saying the computer is safe to ignore it,

but to check what other programmes are running. I know it still does this

when no applications are shown as running in Windows task manager. So I am

not so confident, but hey, I am no expert.

Thanks AW,

 

I will try this once I have checked I still have the codes to download it

again. I have tried just turning Norton off using the the Norton menus and it

made no difference. 00.45 a.m. here, so will try after some shut eye. Cheers
