[QUOTE="moddestmike, post: 9013415, member: 20504"] I take it you had a botnet maliciously installed somewhere on your pc or you're wanting to spy on someone. Botnets more often than not bury themselves in the C:windows\system32 directory. I'd first suggest downloading something like TaskViewer (3rd party task viewer). This will allow you to clearly identify malicious tasks (depending on your comp literacy). Depending on which program you get, it should tell you which port its using and you could possibly run a tracert to see where its calling home to. Take you pc off the network and monitor it again and notice how many times it unsuccessfully attempts to "report back". Now its going to get a bit tricky (or quite simple) depending on which type has embedded itself. Start by finding a free version of Malwarebytes or AVG Anti-virus. Run updates on your OS before hand and then scan with said software. If you believe its still present. Let me know and we'll go further. NetFlowAnalyzer or WireShark will allow you to more effectively monitor network traffic. Your probably experiencing a 7-12% bandwidth decrease because this fagbot is constantly communicating. More often than not, your PC is used as a hub to propagate spam and majority dont know it. Some good resources on Botnets and how they behave so you can take preventive measures.
