Question by DJWhiskaz63: Malware on my mac (Screenshot included)?

Question by McNeef: In linux, how can I tell what programs are using the network? I have noticed a sudden increase in network activity, i.e. the light on my network hub is blinking non-stop. I suspect malware. “netstat -p” gives a few hundred lines of output I don’t understand. Thanks, Ben. The top portion of netstat showed firefox and java.
