Anyone know of a program which lets you look at what programs are accessing your internet connection? My old firewall did it, but this one doesn't. Just that my machine has been merrily downloading stuff, when I wasn't accessing any pages....it may just be some automatic update feature, but it could be something more sinister, so would like to check.

 

(It is just nice to know what programs are surreptitiously sending information when you are online anyway)

You dont need a programme.

 

There is a command in DOS-prompt u canm use which shows u whats connected.

 

I dont knwo it tho.

 

Hope that helps!

What Firewall are you using?

One that came with PC-cillin 2002 (came with my new Mobo, installed it for the anti-virus)
