| Extended Netstat | Wonder what Internet activity is going on with your computer?This will display ALL the ports you have open on your computer. It will tell you what programs are using which Internet connections. It will allow you to kill any program fitting the selections you desire such as any program that might be a trojan horse. You can set it up to continually monitor your connections as they change, and even display only the changes.

If you use netstat on the Win32 platform (Win2k or later) you should definitely use this instead of the weak netstat that comes with Windows.
