Why nicmonitor?
There are many reasons why you might want to monitor your network activity. Watching
your data transfer rates can be very enlightening as you download a web page, email,
or a software application. This will give you a much better idea of how long the
operation will take. It will also let you know how efficient your Internet connection
is. And it can alert you of dangerous or unexpected network activity.
Nicmonitor can also come in very handy to monitor whether some dangerous unknown
activity is occurring while you are online. How can you tell whether data is either
being uploaded to or downloaded from your computer behind the scenes while you are
online? You get some idea of data flow when using your browser, email or FTP program,
but what happens if some unknown application has installed itself and is sending
or receiving data without you knowing about it? Obviously this is NOT something
you want to think about, but it happens to people every day. Also, if you are on
a LAN or local network, you can immediately see if someone is accessing your computer
and transferring information.
The problem of Trojans, worms and other hidden files which can raid your system
completely in the background is a serious one, one that is becoming more and more
common. Don't let this happen to you!!! Nicmonitor can monitor this activity for
you 100% of the time and let you know if data is flowing behind your back. You can
then log off from your ISP immediately and terminate the activity.
