Protect your system from intruders

DU Meter can also conveniently monitor whether any dangerous unknown activities occur while you are online. How do you know if data is uploaded in the background or downloaded from your computer when surfing the internet? When using a browser, email, or FTP program, you may have some understanding of data flow, but what happens if an unknown application installs itself and sends or receives data without your knowledge. Obviously, this is not something you want to consider, but it happens to people every day. In addition, if you are on a LAN or local area network, you can immediately see if someone is accessing your computer and transmitting information.

Trojan horses, worms, and other hidden files can completely invade your system in the background, which is a serious problem and becoming increasingly common. Back  Orifice is just one of these notorious applications. It has been reported in CNET, ZDNet, Technet, and many other places on the internet. Symantec's antivirus website provides a detailed description of this.

Don't be another unfortunate Internet victim. Antivirus programs are an important line of defense, but how often do you update virus definition files? What about your provider? Every day? Every hour? New viruses and trojans appear every hour. DU Meter can monitor this activity 100% for you and let you know if there is any data downloaded or uploaded behind your back. Then, you can log out from the ISP or immediately disconnect your computer and terminate the activity.

Why do we need DU Meter?

Control network traffic

Keep an eye on your Internet connection: view incoming or outgoing data

Have you ever wondered why some downloads seem to take a long time to complete, or why your email program seems to be stuck in the middle of email retrieval. Is it really stuck, or is it just downloading a large email attachment? DU Meter can answer these and other puzzles, as well as alert you to dangerous or unexpected online activities. No matter what you do online, observing your data transfer rate is very enlightening, and you will soon wonder how you managed it before without DU Meter.

DU Meter for Parents and Business Managers

Receive alerts about dangerous or unexpected network activities

If you have teenagers, or if you own or manage a small business, you already know how difficult it is to enforce certain internet usage rules while respecting the privacy of children or employees.

If you install DU Meter on your child or employee's computer, you can configure it to report to you via email when monthly or weekly network traffic exceeds a specific threshold. If someone violates your rules (such as sharing movies and music using peer-to-peer software), DU Meter will notify you. Since DU Meter 5, once the alarm conditions are met, the software can even prevent any further Internet connection without any user intervention.

Please remember that you are legally responsible for your child's behavior online. Although sharing music or videos may be harmless to them, copyright holding companies are suing peer-to-peer internet users for copyright infringement and demanding thousands of dollars. DU Meter can promptly remind you to prevent such activities.

Is your "infinite" Internet really infinite?

Protect yourself from unexpected charges or Internet service interruptions

Many Internet users believe that their "unlimited" accounts allow them to surf the Internet, send large email attachments and download any number of movies and songs. However, the media have sufficient evidence to show that many Internet service providers (whether in the United States or elsewhere) do set clear restrictions on their use, although they may advertise the opposite. If these limits are exceeded, some may take strict measures, such as terminating the account without any prior warning. DU Meter can create a detailed report of the total network traffic on your computer and alert you when certain limits are exceeded. If you have teenagers or if you own or manage a business, DU Meter is also particularly useful for you.
