Subject: Re: How to find a process

To identify the Windows process that is sending out TCP/IP traffic... on the source system, you can install just about 
any free or not-free client-based / personal firewall software.



You can also install Microsoft's free Port Reporter, though it doesn't say whether it is compatible with Windows Vista 
yet:

If the results come back that "System" or SVCHOST.EXE is generating the traffic, then you'll have to use a trick to try 
to find out which subordinate process is actually generating the traffic.



kind regards,
