network monitor

[Gatecrusher]

On my computer I get internet activity when there should be none. (scaned for viruses, turned off updates ect.)
So is there any good program which would enable me to find out what is using my internet?? firewall maybe?
Anythign besides firewall?

Wireshark is a freebie.

If you are not comfy looking through network traces you can also run:

netstat -ano
tasklist /svc


Compare the output of the two and you can find out what process has an open or recently closed socket. Use taskmanager to see what app corresponds to the process id (you have to adjust options in task manager to display the PID column)
