Are you on dial up? Do you have a port conflict? Are you otherwise disconnected from the internet when something scheduled within a program (like AV update) is set to run? You may not have something scheduled within windows itself, but your program may have a task scheduled. I know my AV is set to Update, then scan every night starting at 2. You could always do a port scan and see what programs are causing your traffic.
