How can I tell whats eating my PC's bandwidth?

[mikey1090]

I am checking my bandwidth monitor logs. Its really scary.

yesterday, there was over 1GB of uploads which I have nothing to do with. So far today there are 600MB of uploads which I can't account for.

My ISP bills me $2 for every 1GB of bandwidth I use over my 8GB limit each month.

What can I do? I have no idea what is causing the anonymous uploads...

Thanks,
Mike

You should try installing like a syslog or monitor so you can see if somebody is using your internet to mass DL files.

if u click ctrl-alt-delete and click processes, it will show all programs active. if you think one of them may use the internet and is not all that imporatant, find it and delete.

no doubt, do you have an unsecured wireless network, someone may be connecting to it and downloading a bunch of files.
