Pros
Might get you the afternoon off work as it will render your computer unusable.
Cons
Very effective USB neutraliser.
Summary
After reboot none of your USB devices will work. I had to use remote desktop to get back in and uninstall. I got lucky, you might not be. Stay clear!
Pros
None: Complete crap
Cons
10 second capture on the trial version = useless
Uninstalling this left me with corrupted right-click menus, corrupted zip file association and the extensionless "Program" file issue mentioned in another review.
Avoid this app. Unless you want to waste an evening troubleshooting your system like I just did, walk away now and find another tool for USB monitoring.
Pros
NONEEEEEEE
Cons
I install it and couldnt even check does it work because after restart NON OF MY USB IS WORKING. DEVICE MANAGER IS FULL OF EXCLAMATIONS for USB. So I uninstall it but again non of my usb devices is not working. then I found out that the driver that this program install is ausbmon.sys (search for it, but after uninstallation its not on my system anymore), so I go to registry and search for AUSBMON and delete all UPPERFILTER, I think there is only TWO of them, restart and now its working. aaaaaaaaa
Summary
READ CONS
Pros
I got speed info I couldn't get from Windows, but probably speed reported by device as capacity, not actual connect speed.
Cons
Most info you can get from Windows Properties, so not much additional function for monitoring. Installing lets you pick to install filters, but has no explanation for it.
Pros
It actually works for short (10 second) USB captures and it is cheap.
I
Cons
It crashes regularly, it lags the actual usb event by a long period so that the application must be run for as long as an hour after the actual event to capture the target event. We were searching for a bus error that was hard to catch, it took us all day to get the software to capture a single error event due to the deficiencies of the software. The export to xml works but is useless and generates massive files that lock up all viewers we tried. You cannot turn off the screen display to speed up capture and log direct to file. You cannot view the time stamp of the usb bus transaction when in 'short view' mode. It creates a log file called 'program' without an extension and stores it in the root directory, this occurs regardless of where you specify the log file to be saved - windows doesn't like this and complains each time you reboot (a common event when you use this program). You cannot copy text from the screen (^C), you cannot edit or capture text when you view the detail report from a bus event.
Finally, we bought the professional version for US$59 that was charged at AU$89, even though the conversion rate is currently 0.94A$ to the US$

thanks

On reboot, I too had no response from mouse or keyboard or anything on the USB ports. computer is currently being reimaged by our company tech guys. And NOW I owe them a beer on top of losing my afternoon. AGGsoft, you owe me exactly 4 beers (2 for the tech guy, plus 2 for me) and my afternoon back.
Don't ever download this software. ever. ever. ever. If you download it, don't install it. Really.
Pros
none
Cons
After installation it said I need to reboot. I did, since then it has been worse than a virus, all my USB ports have stopped working, including my mouse, and I have been working to correct the problem for 4 hours, with no success, I may evan have to re-install Windows, in hindsight that would have been quicker. The worst program I have ever downloaded from this site.
