Default Local Area Network Connection Has Constant Activity?

I have a bit of a problem.

In the last couple of days, my Network connection runs all the time
downloading something or checking something, I'm not sure which but it
seem to have a ton of packets sent and received. But nothing is going
on, most of the time the computer is setting idle - but this activity
just goes on and on. I am running WinXP with all updates, I have a
Local Area Network to also link my laptop to the network via a Linksys
4-Port Router which I have used for quite some time. As I said, this
activity just started in the last couple of days and I cannot figure
out what is causing it or how to fix it.

I have the latest version of Norton Antivirus 2012 running, but have
been using this antivirus program for a number of years without this
problem.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this problem?

Thanks
