What is happening with my internet?

I am no expert so here goes... I noticed yesterday that my internet connection was running a little slower than is usual. That sometimes happens, but when I look at the internet connection staus dialog box, I see that I am sending large amounts of data along my internet connection.

It is constant and at my upload speed of 230 kbps (tested on Speedtest.net), so evevy 15 minutes I am sending 20.7 mb of data. It is now constant - even when the machine is idle. I am also downloading data, but at a much slower rate.

Where is this data going? Why is this happening? Have I got some kind of virus in the machine?

I have run my virus scan and an anti-spyware program, but to no effect.

Any help/advice appreciated
