Question Constant Upload Activity with Nothing in Transfer Window

I have noticed upon installing Xolox that it constantly uploads non-stop. Nothing appears in the transfer window as if no one is downloading anything from me. I am just getting started and don't have anything to upload yet so I can't imagine what could be uploaded? I thought it would quit and so I waited, once it go to over 20 MB in just a short while I shut it down. Days later I started the program and it did the same thing.. I stopped it again after about 20 MB of uploading. I do use Zone Alarm but it hasn't caused any problems on my system so far, resources look good and no errors. The data light on my cable modem stays almost solid and I can see my hard disk light blinking so I know data is actually being transmitted. My connection status box showed over 20 MB uploaded also. The connection status box reported a close figure to what Zone Alarm reported as uploaded. I have the newest version of Zone Alarm also. Any ideas? Xolox seems great so far, I just can hardly download anything because almost all of my bandwidth is taken up with .. something.. uploading that doesn't show up in the upload window. I tried throttling down the upload speed but it didn't make any difference. It acts like the data isn't even going through Xolox but yet it stops transmitting when the program is stopped. I'm stumped... Thanks in advance.
