Help Needed > Computer Continuously Uploading and Downloading

My desktop has been continuously uploading and downloading something I know not what.

It shows about 1 GB uploaded to about the same amount downloaded.

I had this problem before and it was a bad install of a TOR/Vidalia bundle that had set up a TOR proxy on my machine. But I have deleted all of the P2P, TOR, Vidalia, and iTunes programs. I ran antivirus, antispyware, antiadaware programs. I also stopped services on all the antivirus, Googledesktop, Windows Search, Adobe programs, and other suspect programs. Still, network is being continuously accessed.

I checked netstat and the only two processes accessing the network are:

Generic Host Process for Win32 Services (two instances instances of svchost.exe)
Application Layer Gateway Service (two instances of alg.exe)

Any ideas of how I can fix this? Any way of seeing what is being uploaded?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

I tried wireshark and suddenly the problem stopped. I looked at the logs, and it seems that a photo indexing program on my wife's laptop was trying to access the photo collection on my desktop and it was hitting the network to grab those. Hence all the upload traffic out of my machine.

Problem solved.

Thanks,

Pradeep
