[X-post to IE General & WIndows Update newsgroups]

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when
posting to this newsgroup, please.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?

If you're running ZoneAlarm, what ZA application and version is it (e.g., ZA
Free; ZA Pro; ZAISS; v7.0.482.0)?

Does this only happen when you connect wirelessly?

AVG's freak out did a symptom like this.

Are you running AVG by any chance?
