I have cable internet access and I am running a Linksys router as my hardware firewall. I have Zone Alarm running behind that, just in case...... I use The Cleaner for trojan horses and Spybot for spyware. I also use a anti-virus program. When I am off-line or my computer is off, my modem still flashes alot. As if someone is scanning my computer or sending me data. My cable company says this has something to do with a DNS server. Is this normal for this to happen or should I put more thought into this? I was hoping someone could answer this for me.

Thanks
