by Download.com staff / February 27, 2009

This simple utility shows you how much bandwidth your network adapters are using. Upon launch, Bandwidth Monitor Pro pops up a small window showing you information regarding your average download and upload speeds, including a graph. However, we initially didn't realize you could fine-tune this program, since there are no icons in the main window. Right-clicking in the program takes you to the Settings menu, where you can perform such actions as customizing the graph and choosing what statistics you'd like to display. You also can set the utility to notify you when network traffic reaches a certain point. Though we doubt this app will suit the majority of home users, IT professionals may very well find it handy.

"Didn't work"

October 25, 2013 / Version: Bandwidth Monitor Pro 1.3

2013-10-25 10:51:33

Pros

None. Waste of time.

Cons

Monitor screen comes up, but no data after two days. Installation puts toolbar on browser, changes search engine. Provided no option to avoid this. Also put unwanted icons on desktop.

"Does not work with Win 7, does not fully uninstall"

tg3650 October 08, 2013 / Version: Bandwidth Monitor Pro 1.3

2013-10-08 05:54:08 | By tg3650

Pros

Documentation is horrible. There are a couple of web sites; one refers to screens that don't exist in the current version... this is an all-around train wreck.

Cons

As others have noted, if you have Win 7 don't bother. Worse, when I uninstalled it, the Win 7 uninstaller didn't get all of it, so I now get a 'file not found' error upon logging on.

Summary

I'd pay for a decent program. This is not it.

"Malware/Spyware included without asking for persmission"

seraphmaiel July 13, 2013 / Version: Bandwidth Monitor Pro 1.3

2013-07-13 19:29:27 | By seraphmaiel

Pros

None to report - I do not want to use something that fills my machine with unwanted programs.

Cons

Filled with unwanted spyware/malware that self-install without letting you even have a CHANCE to say "no" to them.

Summary

A huge disappointment; CNET should warn us that there might be unwanted software BESIDES the one you came here to download. After having to install CNET's downloader, I proceeded to install the so-called Bandwidth Monitor Pro and I was NEVER prompted about the spyware and malware that it was coming with. In my case, a search bar/browser plug-in and three other crapware. My ZoneAlarm went crazy during the install, I should have trusted it and just aborted; sadly, I turned it off and now my computer will never be the same again, because who can tell with 100% certainty my spyware removal programs got everything?

TL; DR: If you want to infest your PC with malware, be my guest and download this program...

"didn't measure; installs claro-search"

ben-cnet November 27, 2012 / Version: Bandwidth Monitor Pro 1.3

2012-11-27 10:53:19 | By ben-cnet

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.

"Doesn't replace XP taskbar icon"

ranchette January 04, 2011 / Version: Bandwidth Monitor Pro 1.3

2011-01-04 06:45:10 | By ranchette

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.
