"didn't measure; installs claro-search"
Version: Bandwidth Monitor Pro 1.3
Pros
claro-search was relatively easy to uninstall
Cons
* though I opted out by unchecking the box, it set the homepage and default to claro-search
* it installed 3 malware programs (claro-search, claro ADT, Browser Manager) which took me about 2 hours to delete fully* from my browsers
* always displayed zero bandwidth usage (Lenovo t61p, Win7, en_US, while watching vimeo.com HD on built-in Wifi)Summary
Very disappointed in CNET allowing this kind of malware on their site.

Bandwidh monitor pro does not support newer windows like windows vista,windows 7 or beyond.

Very useful to see how much bandwidth you are using.But there last update was in Jan 25, 2005,so I do not think there will be any newer updates anytime in the near future.There support e-mail does not work,because I try sending a e-mail to ask a question and that was to see if there would be any updates to support newer windows and e-mail never got to it destination,>>Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently<<

"Does what it says"

Cons

"Doesn't replace XP taskbar icon"
Version: Bandwidth Monitor Pro 1.3
Pros
I just want something for Win7 that would show wireless connection speed in the taskbar as the old Network Connections icon did in XP. This has a lot of info, but not that functionality. Still useful.
Cons
Can't be configured to imitate old Network Connections icon showing just connection speed.

"Don't install unless you plan to buy it."
Version: Bandwidth Monitor Pro 1.3
Pros
It does what it says.
Cons
It write protects the install directory and the uninstall program does not work. I have already spent way too much time trying to get this parasite off my system. The pop up screen is also extremely annoying.
Summary
Don't install. If the company fixes the uninstall issue and requests that I remove this negative review I would be more than happy to do so.

"Easy to install"
Version: Bandwidth Monitor Pro 1.3
Pros
simple, no complicated features
Cons
Strange results
Summary
The download rate was incrementing with no indication from my ethernet card status box (in terms of number of packets downloaded or the pictorial visual indication) that any such downloading was happening. A regular small upload was showing on the ethernet card status box as happening (I think from MS security essentials), but that upload seemed to be incrementing the pro 1.3 monitor in terms of a regular down load that mounted up to about 2MB over several hours. But that 2MB was not showing up on my ethernet card status box download indication (in terms of packets). Something is not quite right with this product - maybe in the overall scheme of download quantity this peculiarity is of no consequence, but still, I don't want a monitor that erroneously records downloads as happening, no matter how small.
