hey was just doing ipconfig to see my ip and such and there are a lot more connections on there then i physically have..... namely ones starting with

tunnel adapter local area.... or isatap.<whatever......

bit concerned about this as i have no idea what it is or what its doing there.

is this a security risk? have i been hacked? or am i worrying over nothing

:s

what ever it is, it doesnt sit right with me, just the word "tunnelling", sounds like a virus or being watched :eek:

dont fancy someone knowing all my bank details and such!

can any one shine a light on this for me please?
