Hello Mr. Pathak For that kind of activity it is really high, and other than what harish has already said, what comes to my mind, is that you may have some virus activity going on. some viruses use computers on internet as attack platform for other computers. What I mean, that your computer if it is infected with such a virus, wil be attacking other computers, and will be generating huge amount of data. The purpose of these attacks is to make so many requests for a website or something that it is not able to handle the request and then the site may behave in a way so as to be exposed to exploitations. I have seen an example, where one computer which was not having service packs for windows XP, had generated more than 1 GB internet trafic within a few hours.
So monitor your computer's usage buy noting in the connection window the incomming and out going data transfer before you disconnect, this information is lost after you disconnect,. You can look for some software which can keep record for such activities. Also ensure that your computer has SP2 (Service Pack 2) if you have windows xp, or in all other cases you have all the updates for the operating system you are using. Besides SP2, apply all security updates as they contain important bug fixes for latest flause discovered in the operating system Hope it helps Dinesh , things ----- Original Message ----- From: "S.S PATHAK" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 1:21 PM Subject: [AI] Need your guidance/suggestions > Hello friends, > > Recently, I have started using Internet (MTNL Broad Band).
