View files transferred information to see all file traffic to and from the computer via web site upload or download, FTP upload or download, and Peer-to-Peer (P2P). Watch for pirated software, illegal music, pornographic pictures, large video files that take up valuable network bandwidth, online gambling software, and more. See the domain name and IP address of where the transfer was sent to or received from, the name, protocol and type of file that was transferred, and whether it was an upload or a download. Whatever you don't like, you can block.
