Sorry a little paranoid. Switched over from gnome to Kde. One thing I have noticed is I have a cron job doing something every hour, and can not figure out what job it is doing. Thanks

Re: Cron Jobs
Alt+F2 -> kcron should show you the crontab. Have a look and see what you find.

Re: Cron Jobs
By default, cron is set up (via /etc/crontab) to run all scripts found in /etc/cron.hourly/ every hour.
You may check /etc/cron.hourly to see if there are any scripts there (I don't think there is anything there but the .placeholder file by default, but some packages may install hourly cron jobs there).
The hourly crontab job will run even if there are no scripts in /etc/cron.hourly, the job simply exits without running anything (perhaps it's this activity you're seeing, I'm assuming you saw it in the logs?).
