Q: Why is the Internet Connections Index Meter red when I only have one browser window open? A: This meter is simply a gauge to indicate how many connections are being used by your computer.
To function properly, a number of programs on your computer may require Internet access. Some of these programs do not even appear within your Windows taskbar when they are running. These programs can potentially increase the number of Internet connections from your computer, making the Connection Index Meter appear in red.
Some examples include Internet Explorer 6 as well as the free Norton AntiVirus⢠and Norton Personal Firewall⢠programs included with the Rogers Online Protection suite.
Peer to peer software like LimeWire and Bearshare are typically consume the largest amount of Internet Bandwidth. Even when you are not downloading through these programs, they are still actively connected to the Internet. They can easily increase the number of active connections from 4 to 30 or more, which would cause the SHS meter to indicate red.
