I hope you have anti-virus software that blocks trojans, scripts, and viruses. High traffic volume is usually (not always) an indication of a trojan. What port is this traffic using? This is the time of year when people can really get nailed. In fact, i got an e-mail the other day with a particularly nasty vatriant of a virus. It was cleaned, and m computer was up to date (as it is 3 times a day), but if i wouldn't let my gurad down, I would've been hammered. From the month of October through the spring time is when the threat levels really get high.
