Are you sure you aren't infected with a virus?

Are you just pool mining or are you also running a local bitcoin client?

If it is mining only the activity they describe isn't mining.    Pool mining isn't p2p, pool mining doesn't use a lot of bandwidth, pool mining doesn't connect to multiple machines, pool mining doesn't use IRC.


I'm not sure, I guess I will have to run virus scans on all the computers here.  The computers that I use should be fine but there are others that may have an infection...it would be funny if I had a virus after all!  LoL...I thought for sure it was my bitcoin mining.  Anyways, yes I only mine in a pool. 

And thanks to everyone for all the advice.  I'm considering changing ISPs.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, Rogers bought out Cogeco a while ago and Cogeco is only available in Western Ontario as far as I am aware of.  I used to use it when I lived in Windsor.  I HATED them more than Rogers.
