Do You Know Which Of YOUR Programs Are Accessing The Internet?


TCPEye is a nifty little program that is easily downloaded that will show you exactly how many programs on your PC are accessing the Internet. TCPEye also monitors your system and alerts you of any current open TCP/IP and UDP ports on your PC.

Within the TCPEye program you can right click on any process and choose from the following options:
  • Resolve Address
  • End the Process
  • Close the Connection
  • Look Up The IP Address's Whois information
  • And Much Much More!
TCPEye also allows for sound alerts or balloon notifications whenever a new process begins accessing the Internet keeping you well informed to prevent any unwanted connections.

TCPEye provides a laundry list of information about each open port such as:
  • Process Name
  • Path Of The Process
  • Info About The Process
  • Time In With The Process Was Created
  • Country That The Process Originates From, Including The Country's Flag
  • Color Coding Of Connection States
  • Name Of The User That Created The Process
TCPEye also allows you to save the TCP/UDP information to a HTML, XML, or Text file for easy future referencing.

TCPEye is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008.

I just did a basic install of some digital x-ray sensors in an office that already had prof.suni and dentrix. As I am going through the workstations loading drivers I see that windows firewall is on, anti virus real time scan is on with no exclusions set, and the current IT guy has like 5 mapped drives all mapping multiple ways to get to the same location. It was just a big mess............ Read the rest of the Keep It Super Simple: A Dental Technology Integrator's Mantra article here!
