Thanks, Joe, 

 

Yes.  HP Win7 PC, for my sins. 

 

There are a couple of things that may do it . Glasswire being the most
promising.  

 

Being what Owen calls a "citizen", I am very slow to download exe's on spec.
Until I get desperate. I don't like to be the first penguin off the floe.

Nick,

I assume you use a Windows system ? On a Mac you can look at the System
Monitor to get information which seems to be what you are looking for.
Perhaps others here can suggest a similar program on a Windows system.

Hi, Sarbajit, 

 

Thanks for the tip.  I studied on it for a bit and think it isn't designed
to do what I most need to have done.  It would tell me if my problem is,
say, HP updates, or Firefox websites.  But, unless I am wrong, it won't tell
me which of the websites I am contacting is doing the dirty.  For instance,
I spend a lot of time looking at animated radar displays?  They are only ten
frames long, and don't seem very "verbose", how can I tell for sure..
Perhaps by logging my activities by hand and then using the time logging
feature of Neworx I might figure it out.    Ideally, the program I am
looking for would give me the amount of data used up for each website
contacted.  Given the rarity of the problem, the software probably doesn't
exist.  

 

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.  I will explore it more closely tomorrow.

Hi, 

 

You will recall that when I am in Massachusetts, I get all of my internet
over a Verizon hotspot.  It a bit like eating lunch with a shark.  Every
once in while you find out that you're missing part of your arm.   So, I
have been looking around on the web for an app which will tell me which one
of my activities . podcasts, websites, upgrades, updates, etc. . is using up
data.   Now, I figure, being pros, most of you, you all live in places that
have unmetered broad band.  So I don't expect many of you to share my
problem.  But perhaps one of you has?  There are several apps that seem
perhaps to be relevant.  One is "Glasswire".  Is anybody familiar with it?  

 

I hope you are all summering well.
