Sometime couple of websites open on our screen and yet the data activity light of the modem is constantly blinking indicating that one or more programs are actively uploading or downloading data from the Internet .
How can you easily find out which programs on your computer are accessing the Internet and what websites are they connecting to?
Find Which Programs are Connecting to the Internet
If you are on Windows 7 or Vista, you can use the Performance monitor utility to see a list of all running processes that are currently accessing the Internet.
If you are on a different version of Windows, try TCPEye. This is a free network monitoring utility that creates a self-updating list of all processes that are currently using your network connection.
TCPEye a bit different is that it also lists the websites / servers that the programs are communicating with and the location (country) where those servers are located. Most other network monitoring tools only mention IP addresses.
If you notice an unwanted connection or a suspicious entry in the TCPEye list, just right click to end the process.
