is there a programs where i can tell what it using my internet? sometimes something randomly starts using the internet after a while, usually when i am on xbox live or at least thats when i notice it the most cause i start lagging and i have to restart the computer for it to stop. disconnection via the chord does not work cause when i plug it back in, it starts back up.
you leave your pc on when you play? if so try turning it off, that may help… sometimes certain un-wanted processes (mostly spyware and BS) can pop up and start stealing resources causing lag
unless its a wireless router, the only things running off of it are what you have plugged in. If it is wireless, you may have a suspect neighbor
i know i dont have any spyware im very avid about that stuff but the reason i have it on is cause i usually only hop on with my friends and they like to talk for a while sometimes so i jump on the computer for a bit.it does not always just happen when im on live though just so there is no confusion
um. scan for malware using multipal software vendors. open a command prompt and run a netstat -a to see open connections (however, if you have a realllly bad piece of malware, it will intercept the netstat command and return what it wants you to see)
what don’t you want to see in there?
yea cause i have never done that before so i dont know what im looking for
u can also pop open the task manager and goto the networking tab, or leave it open for piece of mind to what’s going on
right but that dont tell you what is accessing it though
internet provider?
