Need a little insight on ICS. I can make a connection to my computer with the modem and can browse the web. The problem is that the modem will hang up when I am finished but it keeps reconnecting even though no browsers are open. How can I stop the connection for connecting when I am through?

First, check your email client. If it's set to check for new messages automatically, it may be dialing up. Disable the "Check for new messages every X minutes" option.

If that's not it, you may have some kind of spyware on your computer. First, download a free single-user copy of Zone Alarm from http://www.zonelabs.com. It will ask your permission for any app or service that requests an internet connection. If you find some spyware has infected you, go to http://www.scumware.com. THereyou will find information about many known spyware/scumware apps, and how to rid your computer of them.

Hope this helps! Good luck.
