It depends on what you are doing online. Downloading, websurfing, and the like will have more recieved packets then sent, because you only need to send little information to get an entire webpage with images or a download file, etc.
Gaming online is usually a little bit different, but varies widely on the game played.

I only been online for two and half hours Also is it due to my new cable modem or is something wrong? If so whats a fix? As most of the time the sent number is higher then the received.
Any suggestions? |
More down than up is normal, unless you have been doing a big upload and almost nothing else.
I'm curious if you have a router/NAT box/ AP between the modem and your computer?
As pointed out above continuously see more up then down that doesn't match your sent/recieved pattern sould raise a warnig flag.
Also is this new modem a replacement or new service?
A replacement may have given you a new IP and (tempoarily, at least) taken you off someone's probe list. |

I scann for spyware/worms everyday and it says i have nothing wrong. unless the crap was able to hide it self where i or no anti spyware/virus program can find it
Yea brand new modem with new ip address. |
Yes, it can. They are called RootKits and most AV's can never find them. At least, not yet.
Get a Firewall, Hardware based it better but also a software based one works great too. Everyone has different opinions on software based ones, so take a look around. Zonealarm is the one I've used the most, and the one I have on my parents computer. |

I downloaded and ran a system scan with rootkit revealer and it found nothing.. So i guess im clean there also or if i have a hacker/worm the program is really really hidden.
O'well |
Could be either of both. However, that's about the best you can do. |
