"NOT A VIRUS - but a good tool in its time."
Version: Active Ports 1.4
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 Because of this, APorts is no longer maintained.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"
Version: Active Ports 1.4
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.
