Hi,
my Pc starts to download, immediately after connecting. It is downloading stuf even if IE/Firefox is not on. I tried to find out the IP address and got a source IP number but do not know what to do with it or how to stop this downloads, which amount to about 40 MB an hour.
Would be grateful for any advice
Thanks

Download malwarebytes , install and update it, and then turn off your internet and run malwarebytes
Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html) to your desktop.

Make sure that you restart the computer.
If you don't have control because of the download, unplug the network cable.
Then clear your cache and make sure your browser is set to return to the default start page, instead of trying to restore your last session.
This is malware, but it is easily defeated.
