i don't think you have a virus, but you are running a lot of programs designed to connect to the Internet on a continuing basis. you haven't given a list of what those programs are that you are blocking. the gaming and streaming audio video and audio programs are probably not needed.
Herb...
I think I might have some kind of a virus or something. I scanned my pc with norton, trend micro and pestpatrol and found so far no virusses. This virus or whatever it is is very nasty. So far i see a lot of new programs(.exe) files trying to acess internet through my firewall and i try to dont allow em and close em from task manager. My pc keeps restarting so its hard for me to do a full virus scan but so far i scanned everything and deleted a bunch of spyware... here is my hi jack report
