Hello Blackhorse 70V,

Thankyou for your response.

What I noticed on the monitor tab was that specific files from my laptop where being uploaded (eg work files that I personally named) without my permission. I hit the stop upload cross. This stopped it. I looked around and changed the settings to the slowest upload speed and it appears to have stopped it.

I know I sound naive but how can they do this. I understand what you said about what I had downloaded and completely agree with this. But it appeared that people where scanning my computer and pulling information back.

I went and searched for the specific file names I saw going up and they were on limewire in some various formats. I then decided to search for some strange file names I have created and they were also on limewire.

How can I isolate all of my files so that they will not be pulled back if I changed the setting on uploads back to the default settings. I have a modem, router, broadband and nortons.

Thankyou for you help so far
