If you want to stop it go to
Control Panel>Internet Options>Connections tab and click on the 'LAN Settings' button and un-check the 'Automatically Detect Settings' box.
Note that this is on by default in later versions of Windows 7.
Thanks for solving this, as I've been looking for a solution for this for ages.
Edit: Sorry it doesn't work
