I think you're exaggerating a bit, from my point of view. There're load of things that can cause a high dns traffic, for instance, I was in the same situation some months ago, and the problem was a "luser" with gkrellm in his system, he has set up a forecast map which got refreshed every 30 seconds, obviusly, this map got the information from a website, don't remember which one, anyways, that's not important here. The thing is it made DNS requests every 30 seconds. This is just an example, nowdays unfortunately, there're loads of tools which connect to the internet without the user knowledge, doesn't matter what for, looking for updates, sending private info, whatever... But saying that he might have a trojan is quite disproportionate, don't you think so? All the best. Manuel -- Manuel Arostegui Ramirez.
