I'm comfortable with most anything. I'm fairly knowledgable, however, I've run linux for about 5-6 years so I dont often run across a lot of windows problems, expecially when dealing with valid/invallid processes, and the windows kernel. The computer isnt a database server, but it runs access database programs that move data between servers etc. These programs are scheduled with task scheduler to run at set times. I've put ethereal on it to sniff what is going in and out of it, and the sniffer didnt find anything other than legit traffic. I've even unplugged the computer from the network, and shut down every process that I could, and it still made no difference. I really appreciate your guys help, and interest in my problem. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
