Download did not work with 64 bit Windows 7
January 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.
CDadminJanuary 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 Because of this, APorts is no longer maintained.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
tkstockOctober 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.
