unwanted automatic internet logon

[Guest donbowyer]

Win XP, IE7

I get an unwanted automatic internet logon every time I start my PC.

Using TCPIP view, I have ascertained that it could be caused by something

called "System:4" The TCPIP view lists the process as follows:-

System:4 TCP SN048816020001:microsoft-ds SN048816020001:0 LISTENING

If I try to use process properties it won't allow.

What is it, do I need it, and how can I stop it from automatically

connecting to the internet?
