Port Scan/Activity Monitoring Tool

[rmletc]

Is there a program that can scan my ports and also tell me if information or activity is taking place between my computer and the internet?


I keep on having trouble running cmd and ping,

I then scan it with a virus or spyware program it cleans it up but then the problem appears again after start up.



Thanks

For fear of taking advantage of anything free, what programs from these google searches could you recommend?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, most are good tools and it depends often on what the user wants. I personally have used Steve Gibson's tools for years:
