Checking what loads Internet connection

[ppera2]

I use program Spybot Search & Destroy with success, but it needs little more time to check all nasties and set correct all.

Is there some programm which can display what (program, bot, opened site) loads at moment Internet connection, in which direction?

I have to use both Spybot and Ad-aware, because sometimes Spybot only deletes spyware partially, and I've heard the same about Ad-aware.

I think a firewall is more suited to this task. To check a good one which is free, try this one:

It is very easy to set up, and tells you everything that is happening behind the curtains.

I agree with r6d2. I'v been using ZoneAlarm form www.zonelabs.com for some years now. It's free and shows you any program that tries to "go out" and you're able to block that program's access to the internet very effectively.
