I know that the Kaspersky firewall has a window that will give you details but I just want something that sits in the tray and indicates what is going on.
Do any of you know of a stand alone utility that will do this?

I am sure it would and a lot more but to be honest just a little Zone Alarm style meter with 5 bars would do the trick and I don't really want to pay $25 for it.
I just find it useful to spot when there is unexpected activity going on.
Thanks for the suggestion.

But I could be confusing it with NetMeter, which i also tried (and removed).
Both are free so worth a try.

you do need to let it know which interface to monitor though (load it, right click icon, options, network interface)
limitation is that it doesn't monitor just internet traffic but all network traffic on the pc.

I've just found an choice in the options - Use dynamic gauges (which I had selected) and Use old static icons. The second gives up and down arrows which go red/green.
