Hi,

XP Pro, SP 2. All windows updates, behind a firewall, domain member.

Domain Controller is OFF. other domain members off to isolate.


I watch 4k blocks every second go to "I/O other" in task manager from
Explorer.exe.

unplug network cable and rate slowed to acceptable.

does not occur at all in safe mode with networking,
does not occur at all in safe mode.

have been using myspace/photobucket a lot.

Cannot find cause with spybot 1.5 or ad-aware or Mcafee Stinger or avz4.

I feel extra I/O is {although defined as system io like reading the
registry}
leaving my system bound for the internet. I cant stop it.

explorer never used to do this- have been watching it and something happened
since myspace

have about 12 to 17 threads on explorer.. how can I detect/clean up the
problem?

..


Thanks for all the great expertise in advance
