I have turned off automatic updates.. But still i find something is being downloded What is going on

Even after turning off automatic updates and even the antivirus update option to manual, DUmeter(a software which monitors internet activity) shows that something is being downloaded and a small amount of data being uploaded. What is it that is going on in my pc?? I have real player installed and ofcourse other windows components.. Is there any way to monitor what is being downloaded or being uploaded..

if something is being downloaded then it is normal for a small amount of upload traffic it is part of the communication protocol.



check msconfig and see what is starting up first there may be another program doing updates.



start / run msconfig enter

It may be anything. Just look out for any third party softwares installed on your p c. Some s/w have an in built feature to transmit data to their relevant websites including real player...
From my experience once microsoft download starts a download it will continue downloading the selected files even after you turn of the selection. It will not start a new slection but will continue with the old one to the bitter end
i am also using DUmeter.it is only detects ur downloading and uploading rates. thats showing only ur connection speed.and it will not download any thing for it. it is trustable.
