Hi, Just so you guys know I had the same problem for a while. It was intermittent and extremely irritating. What i did was open the task manager and go to the services (not programs or processes) and disable the windows firewall and the ad-aware services. When you disable the windows firewall, for some strange reason it continues to run in the services window in vista....THANK YOU MICROSOFT. LoL. Anyway, it fixed it straight away.
