Hi

You are receiving this message as Cogeco's monitoring system has detected excess bandwidth utilization coming to/from your system. It is possible that your system has been compromised, unbeknownst to you, with a virus, trojan, etc that is allowing a remote entity to utilize your system resources. Alternate explanations for this traffic could be peer-to-peer programs such as Kazaa, Edonkey, BitTorrent, etc.

I feel like I've just hit a benchmark, or a milestone.. my first bandwidth warning. I feel like a kid who just fried his first ant with a magnifying glass
