| [Help] Internet Usage App
I'm having some problems recently with some unkown program that keep using my connection every few seconds and causing my ping to spike.
Problem is, I can't find the program. 
So, do any of you people know like, a program that shows all running processes/programs etc and shows whether they are using the internet or not? |

1 edit | I always open a command line window.
Start-Run type command and select 'Ok'
At the prompt, type netstat -ao
This should list all active connections along with the PID (process ID) number.
Now if you open Task Manager (Alt+Ctrl+Del) and select the "Processes" tab, you can select "View" and "Select Columns" to add the PID number next to all running applications.
When things start acting up, look in Task Manager for something that is gobbling up your CPU cycles. Note the PID, and see which port that application is using.
Alternately, you can look at the list generated in the command line window after typing netstat -ao and match each program to any active ports that are open or listening. |

A good firewall will do this - Comodo I believe (even the free version) can do it. |

|  Oh, that is nice! I remember that tool. I use Process Explorer all the time, and I had this gem of an application at one time. Thanks for reminding me about it. Gonna go grab it.  |
