Something is accessing the internet

[kronoSX]

When the pc is in idle for some reason bandwidth(3mb-50mb) is being used.Other than a firewall(bad english there), what small program which uses very little resources can i use to allow and block from accessing the internet.

There are no viruses on this pc or spyware..etc.What i dont want is a firewall program.Is there a free one like this that you can recommend.

As w1z4rd said.

Can your current firewall log outgoing packets? If so, run a log and see what outside port(s) are being accessed - if it is port 445 then you've got a nasty bugger.

Any downloader programs active? Bitcomet works secretly in the backgroud depending on certain settings!

I ran cmd netstat and i dont see anything.Could this be just traffic from the lan connection to the router and not outgoing.

utorrent is not running now..i hope..What i dont understand is that my firewall is set up correctly and if anything is accessing the net it will tell me..i hope.

Windows Update?

Not sure I understand the question. Do you want a firewall or not? Or do you just want to view the traffic? Try www.wireshark.com, its a good program....

Ha ha funny..when i push the quote tab in mybb i get new tab in Firefox which goes straight to my homepage...?
Wtf is ido9.exe..lol

When i use netlimiter it says no traffic in the selected period but clearly i can see a whole lot of **** going on.

Sounds like one of those viruses that creates a new .exe. Try run Spybot...
