phone automaictally connecting to the net... how can i stop it?

[joko]

im on virgin and have a BB curve 8900... and i am getting charged 30p a day for the net when i am not using it!
sometimes its connecting abotu 15-20 times a night, overnight, while i am asleep!

virgin say its nothign to do with them but it also happened with my last phone which was totally different one with diffrent apps ...

i only go online on it about 5 times a month as i have laptop but its doing ti evry day - i am careful to make sure i log off again so dont know how its happening
all virgin can do is cut the service off completely which i dont want

the apps i have - which i i have checked and i think are set to manual update etc are BB app world, a flashlight, mobi pocket reader, smartgurd security, multialarms, various messnegers - (but i NVER use them) and wise pilot and drivesafely - whcich i have also never used...

i only download apps through the computer not on the phone.

what could be happening? is this a fault with virgin? as its happened on another phone?

when i connect the phone to my laptop is this connecting to the net too?

any one else had problems? I am going to have to change providers if i cant solve it

thanks fender, just done that - fingers crossed

i have also been through it and disabled all sorts of stuff so hopefully this will work

if anyone knows any other ways please let me know too

In the days of dial-up one had to beware of PCs dialling out unexpectedly. A virus could be trying to call a premium number. I guess it is less likely on broadband, but I think I'd be trying a number of virus checkers and spyware/malware scans as well, just to be no the safe side, in your shoes. Unexpected connection = suspicious behaviour to be checked.

If it's a Blackberry I assume you have email on it since that is a BB's primary use, if so push email will use data regularly and will connect on a regular basis, maybe it's that.
