[QUOTE="kimmygeorge908, post: 89456, member: 3927"] I first discovered this problem when IE started popping up by itself randomly on 3 occasions , once each day even though IE is not my default browser. There is continuous dns query even after shutting down all possible applications including browsers. I have attached a packet data log from Microsoft Network Monitor, which shows the dns query. There is a query every 30 second. I was concerned that this is the behavior of a bot as I believe checking for google.com is the malwares way of detecting if internet is up or not. Booting into safe mode , I noticed that there was no dns query. As I have zonealarm installed I activated the option stop all Internet activity and found that the query also stopped. Also I have noticed slow down of internet speed and blinking of the router light even when no programs are running on my laptop. Please help Thanks [/QUOTE]
