I do NOT use Comodo Firewall, but it seems any good Firewall
will tell you the Domains that are connecting/connected to.
See if yours does, and you might find out one (or a few) or your
programs are "calling home" to see it there are any updates...
(This is a VERY old "problem" I have seen for years...)

I have dial up internet (I know!)  that has changed itself.  On the dial up dialog box the check box for dial automatically has 
checked itself.  Upon opening the browser, the box comes up and very quickly begins to dial-I don't have time to uncheck the box. 
If I open settings there is no place I can find to disable that box to dial auto.  As if that isn't bad enough, it dials up by 
itself in the middle of the night and is online for awhile, I cant tell it is doing anything but the disc drive does make noise 
sometimes.  Does this  sound like something malicious or a spyware threat?  I am using comodo fire wall, and CA antivirus and 
spyware.  they are up to date and  don't find anything when I run a scan. Computer is an HP about 2 years old and isn't giving me 
any problems.  Any ideas how to fix this so it won't dial itself all day?  Do I need to change antivirus/spyware?  This one is good 
until Feb. The dialog box pops up from time to time when I am not online and doing other things on the computer so it is annoying 
when it takes off and logs on.  thanks in advance.  Kathy
