Don't download, contains a backdoor.
April 25, 2015
Pros
Completely Jack All
Cons
All these people here posting about how safe this program is, lmfao this program contains the backdoor poison ivy, which is a backdoor specifically known for unknowingly someone the ability to completely control your pc without your consent, everything from adding/removing files from your system, also compromising your network as a whole. Use at your own risk, consider yourself warned.

Pros
I've used this tool a lot for various different things. Just used it to block my internet to kick my sister off of Netflix so I could watch Netflix XD. Great tool and it's fun to mess around with all of the things it can do.
Cons
McAfee says "VIRUS! VIRUS! TROJAN! TROJAN! BACKDOOR!" and I have to click allow like 10 different times while net tools is installing. Even google chrome tries to block you from downloading this program because it is supposedly "Malicious." Anyway anyone who is worried about it being a virus, don't be. If your too scared then don't even bother worrying and just don't download it.
Summary
Overall just awesome, fun, and gets the job done!
Good should be checked by a professional for Trojans
jjumbojimboNovember 17, 2013
Pros
Anyone using zone alarm or AVG should be shot because I do not consider free antivirus as reliable or trustworthy There are many useful tools available most of which should NEVER BE USED BY NORMAL PC USERS
Cons
The up-loader may have put a Trojan in it I haven't checked this particular download needs to be checked by a PC expert who can verify
Summary
I've been learning hacking for the past 2 years and I know in fact that the software itself doe's not have a Trojan, I know how to manually detect Trojans without an antivirus. However some of the tools may or not be able to create Trojans I haven't looked at all the tools yet also I downloaded from some where else and my copy is clean I checked myself and with my antivirus and found nothing anyway I would love to test if this software on this website does have a Trojan in it but that would just waste my time downloading it again so have fun and don't bully the up-loader too much he uploaded it for others to have the opportunity to download and if it does actually have a Trojan he probably downloaded it from some other dodgy site of course it would be pretty stupid for anyone to put a trojan with tools that hackers use??? wont other hackers notice and trace his IP address even if he uses a proxy or something there's still a big possibility that the proxy he uses can verify who he is if he is doing illegal activities
Loaded with virus and back doors!
NventorAugust 1, 2012
Pros
No pro's for back door software.
Cons
It has more than three types of Trojans and at least one back door as reported by McAfee. Viruses can not be detected until you begin your install.
Summary
CNET should block this programmer from posting his information theft tools.

jbayoneJuly 14, 2011
Pros
Wide variety of network audit resources.
Cons
Reports a false positive on certain AV programs.
Summary
Really useful tools. The users who are voting low because of false positives probably don't need to be using this software in the first place.
Great program, NO VIRUS!
FullmetalXXOctober 17, 2010
Pros
. This is a great program, I have used it for many years, Even has a "Hacker Trap" option that tells you if someone you dont want is connected to your pc.
Cons
None that i know of.
Summary
ALOT OF PEOPLE think there is a virus, THERE IS NONE, This program "Acts" Like a "Virus" Becuase it scans your network and does various network things that a virus would do, It is simple a FALSE POSITIVE
Excellent Software!!!
ScharfRizerAugust 26, 2009
Pros
NetTools 5 is a comprehensive piece of networking software. For Grayhats (like myself), Blackhats, and Whitehats alike, this software is a great choice.
Cons
None whatsoever.
Summary
great
hamster401August 12, 2008
Pros
everything, its a comprehensive set for anyone that has a bit of interest in computers.
Cons
The only problem would be that some people believe that there is a virus in this program. It isn't a virus, its a program that is similar to a trojan horse just because it allows you to control another computer. It isn't malicious at all and i would anyone reading this download IMMEDIATELY!
Summary
DON'T USE VIRUS FOUND
August 5, 2008
Pros
MINUS 5 STARS!!!
Cons
Zone Alarm detected a virus immediately after downloading. I left an email with the author -- but he said that it's just a "false positive". That's B.S. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO USE -- especially since it embeds itself into your network.
