You never really know where you computer is going off to talk to. The URL Snooper program takes care of that. Once you are running this program, you can see every URL that your computer goes off to get. This was originally designed to find the actual links to streaming music and video files so that they could then be downloaded. But you can use it for all kinds of stuff.

If you are worried about Spyware or other Malware, this can tell you if your computer is off doing thing on the internet without your knowledge. I also like to run this program when I installing new software packages so that I can see if they are communicating back home. And if so, what they are sending.

If you are at all curious about the network traffic occurring on your computer, this program is a good way to find out what's happening.
