Downloading
 

Hello,
After closing a website my pc keeps down loading, is there a way I can trace the source as its not an update. Thanks

Sounds like a bug of some sort..

Do a full shutdown to stop it.
Then re start

maybe run malwarebytes
[ FREE DOWNLOAD

If malwarebytes finds malware on your system using the free one time download, that means your current antimalware protection is not effective. ]

Many of the top antivirus websites have free scanners and free cleaners to down load -

If you read up about Hijack this it should be of help, but only for experienced users

What antivirus do you use and which browser?

IE browsers are vulnerable to a new exploit , an update patch went out last friday check to see if windows & IE are fully updated.

just posted a new thread with info.

The Comodo website has free products - security & browsers.

do you have a backup running?

Sometimes my backup saves things during the day, but then
a screen comes up after the extended hard-drive run, to tell me of it.

Define "downloading".

Downloading a file? A picture? How do you know its downloading? What flavour of Windows or is it an Apple?

My antivirus software was updating definitions. I use chrome and IE, also testing out the latest lavasoft . Having dialup is a real pain these days especially when its my only option. Thanks for the input

Do you mean your router lights are still flashing away? Do you use a WiFi router? If so is it secured (WPA/WPA2 PSK) ?

If you do have WiFi, do you have any other devices that may be accessing it? I know my mobile checks for certain application updates regularly.

Sounds like dial up only , no wifi.
