Something on my system starts automatically download when I connect my system to the internet.
Download never stops
When I make a wireless connection (or even a dial-up access) to the Internet, the download starts. I didn't ask this, and waited to see if it stops. It never seems to. Even after 500 MB has been transmitted. I tried selective startup with all this that deleted except what is necessary to recognize the wireless device. That does not fix the problem.
I turned on the firewall and Norton Antivirus.
Is it possible to trace communications to tell where it comes from? Or any other suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks again - this time to Jack.
I agree that I'm probably lacks enough understanding to solve this problem in a forum like this.
PRTG Network Monitor myself to work, but can't find anything in which seems to follow the link which causes the continuous download. Very probably, I didn't know how to use it properly - it came with a pretty important manual which I didn't read entirely, and what I've read, I found to be of a technical level that is beyond me. It seemed to be a good piece of software and I enjoyed a chance to make a free download...
I looked your site ezlan and this was helpful. I did start > run > msconfig and experimented with turning off of a variety of elements of start-up and also on the Services tab most of the non-Microsoft services. Now I disabled all startup items, and on the Services tab I have disabled all non Microsoft services except Norton anti-virus and NovaCore SDK (which is needed to establish the connection of Virgin Mobile). I left all on Microsoft services. Needless to say that this configuration did not stop the download.
But here's a brilliant note: I stopped the download by 1) conclusion on TCPview the process ID (PID) that has been accumulating the ongoing increase received bytes, 2) with this PID, I went to Process Explorer and double clicked on the process that had this PID. Then, on the Services tab, I read on each of the 25 - odd services that were running and a guess and stopped the BITS service. Presto! Download stopped. This service seems to take care of the updates for the operating system and other things, and I guess that's a rather crude way to fix things. I see that in the start screen, I can uncheck the BITS service, and maybe I should do this to keep it from start to start.
So you can see that I have a fix of some kind, although I know I need to occasionally cancel for the Microsoft updates. I will continue to operate in selective startup mode and you uncheck the BITS service in the section of the Service of the start window.
At the risk of taking more time, I ask a few questions (hopefully) final:
Offer a clue as to what kind of problem I have my 'fix'?
How much harm I do by removing the BITS service?
Thank you very much.

I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available had merge to HDR & Panoramic photos. I can't find these. Where can I find them.
It is unfortunate that Adobe has chosen to use the "update" in the notice inside LR 5. It is not an "update". It is an 'upgrade '. Thus, you pay if you want. Also as usual, Adobe directs clients to the CC solution and makes it hard to find perpetual license option.

I want to stop windows automatic download of files upgrade. It eats my internet time and money. It serves much purpose in home edition when working on simple office work. According to me, that it is only required when the server is used and a lot of office are carried out. Help, please
Click Start / Control Panel / Windows Updates / corn on the left, click on 'change settings '. In the drop-down list, select never "Find updates".
This will stop the automatic download and installation of updates, but still allow you to manually run Windows Update.

I have both a laptop and a desktop computer and use a modem wired high-speed internet. I bought a router "Netgear" 5 port so that I could have both online at the same time, but when I connect my computer to the router, they do not seem to recognize the signal from the modem. I have to run each device directly to the modem (one at a time) for internet access. It gets very tedious, please help...
Original title: router does not work...
Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft community.
I see that when you connect multiple computers using the Netgear router, it does not recognize the signal from the modem.
You must contact the ISP to verify if they can help you with this question.
In addition you can keep these items handy, it might help you.

hp 8600 Printer Wizard automatically opens when a document is placed in the scanner glass?
I recently bought a HP 8600 Pro multi use printer. When I place a document on the scanner glass or Peter assistant printer does not open automatically. It's a convenient feature on my previous HP printer.
The wizard can be obtained by double-clicking on the desktop icon, but it's a bit bulky. I wonder if this feature was removed for some reason, or I do not know how to operate it.
Any help would certainly be appreciated.
