I wonder if someone can explain for me the section in Comodo. Summary, Traffic. My son has one of these Music download sites online and when I just checked the traffic section it showed this site running at 98.9%. Even though no one is logged on to it. Is this normal? Does this mean the site is pulling info from our computer? I am just a bit concerned about this.

It is likely that he is [illegally] uploading copyrighted music to other internet users. Usually these file sharing apps still run in the system tray, even when the window is closed. The best thing to do would be to block the program entirely in Comodo, or uninstall the program.

Yea but unless you dont mind the downloading of music. Your computer will not be harmed by the uploading of music to other users, you should really be worried about what he downloads. Try using Zone Alarm, becuase you can give permissions to certain programs with Zone alarm, even the evaluation copy of Zone Alarm. Really everytime you are done downloading the music you want, if you have a problem with other people getting the "music" information from your computer (sharing) then you should always close down the application. If you dont mind it then dont bother with it, but downloading music illegally is something to think about, whether you allow it or not is up to you
