How can I determine whether my Windows processes are attempting to connect to the net?

Question

I've got Windows firewall going and Norton, but I really want to be sure that I am not unknowingly transmitting vital data. Is there some traffic monitor that would do this? Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes. I HAVE THE BEST SOLUTION FOR THIS. Just Install ZoneAlarm Security Suite and ZoneAlarm ForceField and whoa! It's done. I had been having the same prob too.

Answer 2

Bitdefender total security 2008 does a good job with its firewall which monitors all the scripts

Answer 3

Use any firewall. Which will inform you about the attempt. So that you can block that application from connecting to the internet.

Some of the free firewall as

ZoneAlarm
