Do you really know who's watching your computer?

I installed this new program to see what is happening at each site I visit. It includes capture packets and tracer route to not only show intrusion alerts and stop them; but to log and show on a map the path that the owner has. Very, very, very interesting information was seen. I am really going to to be watching it with fascination. Anyone here have any similar experiences? If so, what did you find?

I am watching my computer. It does not seem to be going anywhere, but when it does it will leave noticeable tracks because the processor will fall down, the electric plug will come out of the wall, the router and the cable box will be broken and my husband's computer will be on the floor as well because we are both connected by the router and the cable box. So it had better not leave. I do have an anti keylogger, firewall, and anti virus and I clear my cache when I turn it off at night.

Your response rocks! Loved it. Funny person. I got a linux program to see "what up"????? on my network. Just to ensure the safety of our home. It's entertaining. So are you.

Your forgot to mention the application's name. I am very particular with this things. I'm using PCTools firewall that I have set to ask every time an incoming or outgoing request is made, except of course for those that I really trust. In its log are only time, source/destination IP and the application who requested it. The data to transmit is not included. I'm using firefox with no-script that I set to the same mode - ask me every time. It is annoying at times but that is control for me.
