What's going on now?

A few may remember that I got caught with Bug Bear recently and this has made me a little bit paranoid. Now when I'm on line I've noticed that the handshaking between my PC and the ISP is very active when viewing scoobynet even though I'm not asking for new pages.
So what's that all about? Is someone trying to downoad stuff from or to my machine
Help!

If Scoobynet is dormant, and you have no other internet dependant processes running i'd be very suspicious. Download Zone Alarm, or similar to let you know if anyones attempting connection, and on which port.

netstat from a command prompt will show you open tcp connections. 'netstat -a' will also show listening ports, from memory 3x,xxx was the bugbear trojan port.

I'll take back my earlier comments, since it happens whether I've got scoobynet page showing or not.
Checked my firewall and I'm not sending any data (that helps) receiving shed loads though.
Had a chat with Blueyonder support. Apparently (not that I actually understood what was being said
) their servers are constantly sweeping for unused IP addresses and ports.

Funny thing is....
When I disconnect my lan cable, it upsets a process using HIDSERV and it dies. When you reconnect the Lan cable again, a new process starts up using HIDSERV.
HIDSERV has been subject to an eRumour that its collecting data on your computer and passing it to someone else. Makes sence though!!!

How can you stop the command prompts going when you run them? Whenever I run netstat, ping etc it shows up then closes straight away before I can have a look
