  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.

• Um...what? HAHAH!!! NOT A VIRUS you are all safe.

  smartfoolMarch 14, 2014

  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.

• Great collelction of 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

  None whatsoever.

• 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!

• 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.
