Massive Packets Being Sent

Hi,
   When I checked my LAN connection, my PC is sending out packets in the 15, 000, 000, 000, 000 range. I've ran virus scans and spy ware scans (no virus found, but Ad-aware found and quarantine some stuff). But still no change on the packets being sent out. What can I do to stop this problem?

You may have a trojan that is not being detected by conventional antivirus software.   You need to be running a two way firewall to stop it, perhaps indentify it, then take steps to eradicate it.  The Windows firewall only catches incoming attacks, so you will need something like Zone Alarm, Norton Firewall, or McAfee Firewall to block it and indentify it.
