• Download did not work with 64 bit Windows 7

  1/25/2012

  Pros

  I've used this software before and had no problems

  Cons

  The CNN download refused to install. It always said that I needed an installer. Even when I loaded the CNN installer, it continued to say that I needed the installed.

  Summary

  Do a Google search and you will see that there are problems with the CNN downloader and Windows 7 64 bit

• NOT A VIRUS - but a good tool in its time.

  CDadmin1/17/2011

  Pros

  This is a good utility tool for identifying TCP ports in use and determining what programs are using them on Windows 2003 or older.

  Cons

  As with any good tools, someone will find a way to abuse it. Now there are a few viruses that are designed to use this tool if found. Because of this, APorts is no longer maintained.

  Summary

  So the tool itself is not a risk but keeping it installed may be. Fortunately there are other tools being maintained that perform this same function. Hate to see a good utility like this go away because others abused it...

• Doesn't work on Vista

  tkstock10/7/2009

  Pros

  Can't Tell

  Cons

  Doesn't work on Vista

  Summary

  When trying to run, I get "Access Denied" and the program terminates. If it doesn't work on Vista, the installer should detect the OS and warn the user instead of allowing the install and then crashing. BTW, I am an admin on the machine.
