Wow! I guess last night according to one of the users on the home network, the following popped up.

So today when I learned of this, I discovered that there was 150kbps traffic going in both directions. So I disabled the wireless connection and of course it stopped. I disabled the Windows firewall and install ZoneAlarm and re-enabled the wireless. No strange program was accessing the computer, just normal Windows services and the activity was back.
So I used Windows XP Home Edition System Restore to jump a few days earlier. All strange activity stopped. But I could no longer disable the wireless. As the following error message would pop up.

This had me worried, so I jumped about a week back and I still can't disable the wireless. Well with ZoneAlarm all activity can be stopped, so that is good. Even with ZoneAlarm, I don't know who the computer was communicating with. Oh shoot (now that I think about it), I could have used netstat to learn this, couldn't I?
A Virus scan with PC-cillin turned up nothing. So besides that I can't turn off the wireless anymore (Error Disabling Connection), everything seems back to normal. But I can restore back to the problem and I really like to find who was accessing that computer. Any course of action would be best? And any idea how I can disable the wireless once again?
