• Security...

  Okay, you're using this program to do what? Scan your ports, correct... to see what's availible or not. (Or closed, or open.) I suppose if you weren't as security "obsessed" as I am, it wouldn't bother you... but the developers themselves say that the program scans from another server (their own, no doubt) and they then process the info and display it on a generated webpage. So, in essence, I see this as THEY are running the port scan on you and are sharing their finds with you. Anybody tell me the first step in hacking?... Ahh, that's right, you scan someone ports! And to make this work, you have to shut off your firewall. (Since they (usually) make your ports stealth.) My opinion: bad, bad design. I won't use it. Nope, not at all.

  Works as expected... I used a sniffer and verified what was going on. In regrads to spyware/Porn site. Hogwash. What is the point that people would make up stuff like this.

  Its nicely designed as far as the GUI, but seemed to lack actual functionality and stability, not the best program I've ever used.
