I was looking for a software which can show in realtime which files are accessing the internet. Tried Googling but could not find anything good. Please recommend some good software that does the work. I am currently on Windows & RC1

I tried Comodo previously, and i got annoyed pretty fast. Currently i m using Avast Home Edition and I think it does basic firewall works well. So looking for a standalone software to show network usage by individual files in realtime

Avast Home Editoin doesn't hav ny firewall as far I knw. Tat means u r currenly using Windows Firewall wch is of no use. Try Zonealarm Firewall. I'm sure u wont get annoyed if u configure it properly.
