My pc is permanently online.

Is it possible to tell if there is any thing being is being transmitted (by ftp or any other means) from my PC without my knowledge?

Why do I want to know this I hear you ask.

Well, I just downloaded an ocx from codeguru which checks the validity of a credit card.

You have to enter the expiry date and credit card number and it then tells you the issuer and if it is a valid card or not.

It occured to me that there would be nothing to stop the writer of this ocx to have embedded a bit of ftp (or similar) code to send all these details to the other side of the world!
