Description DU Meter lets you see how much of your full bandwidth potential is actually utilized at any given point of time, either by displaying a real-time graph, numerical display, or both. It lets you actually SEE the data flowing!
DU Meter 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 uploading or downloading 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. The problem of Trojan's worms and other hidden files which can raid your system completely in the background is becoming more and more common. Back Orifice is just one of these notorious applications. It has been written about on ZDNet and many other places on the Web. Don't let this happen to you!!! DU Meter can monitor this activity for you 100% of the time and let you know if data is downloading or uploading behind your back. You can then log off from your ISP immediately and terminate the activity.
