How To Know The Secret Sites Your System Connects?



Is your system running slower on the connectivity where the bandwidth is good enough? Do you doubt if there is any bandwidth eater in the background, malware or something? Read our tech tips that will explain you how to ascertain apps/programs with connections and close if necessary, in easy steps.

We have brought simple tips to explain how you can get hold of the connections in the background, which eats up a lot of connecting bandwidth, in your PC.

The idea is to run the command prompt in elevated mode and working the netstat, with parameters abf.

netstat command (derived from "network statistics") fetches the system’s incoming and outgoing network connections, routing tables, including network interfaces  and protocol statistics. The information will then be displayed on the monitor. And functions of its parameters are given below:





Now that you have much knowledge to proceed to the steps, let us do it.

1. Type cmd in Cortana to locate the “Command Prompt” or cmd.exe file. When you locate cmd.exe file, hover your mouse over it and right-click.




2. From the options that come off the right-click, select “Run as administrator”, which will enable you to run commands in elevated mode as it is required for running netstat command with parameter –b. Alternatively, you can press Shift+Ctrl+Enter on the Command Prompt/cmd.exe.

3. Type netstat –abf and press enter. In few seconds your display will be filled with results of the command.



4. With the results, you will be able to see the applications and connections that your PC is making. You can verify the authenticity of the connections using its addresses and the applications by a combination of methods like IP lookup and application location search in your system to ascertain the mother-ship/program. On verifying, you can manage in the task manager and disable the process or in the task scheduler to disable or stop the process. You can take screen-shots of the results for further reference too. Isn’t that easy?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore ...

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i...
