Hello virus experts, I noticed recently that every time when I dial up to
the internet, even while idle, something is being continuously sending out
(uploading). This problem doesn't show up in my 2nd PC which uses the same
dialer software from my ISP. I have checked it with Norton Antivirus and
Spybot S&D, but nothing shows up. How can I find out what program/process
is using the internet connection and transmitting TCP/IP packets out. Or is
this a new virus?

Thanks in advance.

You can download Ultra Network Sniffer 20 day full trial period and see
what is happening with the packets. TCPview will tell you what is running
on the machine and what ports are being used. TCPview is free.

You can use Google to find the software
