How do I calculate a process's total bandwidth usage?

What is the easiest way to figure out what a program's average bandwidth usage? I used Ctrl + Alt + Del to get to the resource monitor and now I am confused what all these numbers mean. There is many different addresses for the program I am looking at (Skype). It says Skype like 19 times on there. So, to determine the average bandwidth it is taking up on my computer... I should do what? Is there a really simple, easy program I could download that would find the average for each individual address over a specific time period then add them all together and tell me the total bandwidth usage? Should I just do what I stated except to find the average, write down the B/min every few minutes and average it myself? I don't even know if that would be accurate. I am just speculating.

Kinda like this? Glasswire and this is the free version.

Yeah kinda but, can you set it to just average like a certain time period like the past 5 minutes? Then have just the average bandwidth usage from that time period? Because I wanted to have the average total bandwidth usage of skype with just it running and the average total bandwidth usage of skype when I am in a call. Because if that averaged the whole time that I was on skype then that would not be an accurate average of the bandwidth during a call because it would factor in the averages from the first test.

If you are on the graph and you pause it then click on the apps button and look at a graph then you change the time to like 3 hours or a day, does the average bandwidth usage for that application change for you? Sorry for all of the question I am just trying to figure out how this works and I am not on my PC right now, I am on my laptop which has vista and glasswire isn't compatible with Vista so I can't try it out but, my PC has Windows 7. Second question do you know if it is it compatible with Windows 7 they don't say anything on the website about compatibility?

I will pick your solution if that works for me. I will test out that program on my PC tomorrow. Until then I will leave this thread open for other answers. Thanks for your help clonazepam!
 
Yeah, we're talking about internet security here. Take your time. Do your research. There's some website reviews as well as youtube ones. I've personally been using it less than a month after seeing a former Microsoft employee review / endorse it on their channel, so I decided to check it out. It just seems to fit for what you are wanting to know, and its free.

Yeah it looks like an awesome program. Much easier to find issues with your internet security if you can see everything incoming and outgoing. And I do run servers for games and stuff at times so this will make me feel more secure.
