increased "sent" data

Recently my quantity of bytes sent is going crazy -- really accellerated compared to bytes received.  Within minutes, it's in the millions compared to a few thousand received.  I wonder what is being sent to whom.  Anybody know what could be going on?  I've deleted cookies and temporary internet files, but it didn't change.  Only happens on one of our computers, not the other one.  Thanks.

    Sounds like that machine has been infected with a trojan that could be using it as a mail server.  Have you scanned for spyware and viruses.

    I use SpyBot, SpywareBlaster, and AdAware - all free programs. Do a search on Google for the web sites. These three programs work very well together to eliminate spyware and adware.
