Wireless Networking - Why is this Internet Connection Status in my System Tray

Default Why is this Internet Connection Status in my System Tray


This first appeared after I had installed a download manager called Flashget;
I think it tried to install some kind of torrent. I uninstalled Flashget.

What I have is a community based wireless highspeed internet connection.
There's a 'radio' on the roof cabled to a Linksys router. The router sends
the signal to my laptop which is using a Linksys Wireless-G USB Network
Adapter with RangeBooster.

If I click on 'disable' in that dialog it kills my connection to the
'radio', which is referred to as a CB3. This is not the Internet connection
thingy in the system tray. Please see this link for images.

Thanks in advance

Hi
This Icon is generated by something that is probably loaded at Start Up and
maintains a running Process.
Try to find what is it and than use a search to find how to get rid of it.
These two free utilities would help,

It was the Universal Plug and Play Device Host, SSDP Discovery Service

Disabled it and things are as they were.
