Hi,

My PC seems to upload a lot of data,like today for example,my downloads were
26megs and my uploads were about 9megs.I can have 4megs of downloads and
2megs of uploads.Does that sound strange to anyone?
Is there any software that shows what websites I am connected to,and what
files or data or email my pc is sending etc ???

Thanks

Slightly. It depends on the protocol you're using.

Sure. Start a command prompt and type: netstat -a
,and

In the general case, no. Programs send data, not files or email or
anything else useful if you don't understand the protocol they're using.
You can monitor that data with something like wireshark, but you need to
be aware of the legal implications of using such software as it can
potentially monitor somebody elses data sent via your computer,
depending on how your network is set up.
