Do port-to-process mapping, monitor network sockets, and detect Trojans.
Port Explorer is a socket analysis and exploration utility designed for both novice and advanced users alike. In addition to powerful port-to-process mapping, Port Explorer is also armed with advanced packet-sniffing, country-detection, anti-Trojan capabilities and bandwidth throttling, as well as a mini-arsenal of supporting network tools including a fully automatic Whois search client. Port Explorer gives you the ability to see all sockets that are open, and shows the state these are in, be it established and sending or receiving data, listening, or closing. Port Explorer also gives the great ability to control these sockets by allowing the user to spy on any or all sockets owned by a process, and to block sending or receiving of any or all sockets. A user could block data sending by a suspicious socket - yet still see what data is coming in by spying on this socket. Port Explorer also includes new detection for Trojans by showing hidden sockets in red.

Summary
I had to try this after my friend recommended it and i was not disappointed. What i liked the most is not just being able to see exactly which ports each program is using, but even the country that theyre connected to! ive never seen that feature in any other programs so it was a nice surprise. I also use it for all my Whois/Resolve/DNS lookups now, and also for packet sniffing and closing individual sockets. All in all this is one very cool program that is very easy to use
