Simple Internet Meter is a bandwidth monitor. I am a performance nut. I try to have my programs run fast and clean while using as
little resources as possible. Simple Internet Meter was built to do it's job without affecting the system in anyway. The program will
auto clean its used memory any time the memory usage goes above 10 MB. The program is designed to run 24/7.
The program works by using WinPcap (www.winpcap.org) to monitor all packets going in and out of the selected adapter. By viewing the
packets the program is able to tell what is internet traffic and what is local traffic. Windows does not provide an option to do this
so the WinPcap low level driver is needed to get this information. Many popular networking apps use winpcap such as Wireshark.
Features:
* Monitor Internet Traffic.
* Monitor Local Network Traffic.
* Monitor a range of ports.
* Set and keep track of a Bandwidth Quota, a great tool for people on a capped limit from their ISP.
* Extra Stats monitor to show how many programs and ports are open using the network connection.
* Keep logs of Daily & Hourly internet and local traffic.
* Auto save any report to a file.
* Easily change the colors to fit your style and taste.
* Set an alarm when your quota is reached.
* Auto reset Quota usage
* Resize the monitors to make then very small and transparent, keeping them out of the way
* Blend to desktop mode makes the monitors blend to your desktop.
* Ghost mode makes the monitors click through.
* System tray icon can be animated to show internet or local traffic.
* Open network connections and Windows firewall settings from the right click menu of the tray icon.
* Repair and view Network Information from the right click menu.
* View Detailed Netstats, showing what ports are being used and by what program.
* Ability for other programs to read the current data from the program.
The PacketX.dll is used in order for the program to work with WinPcap. These are powerful tools and the side affect is some malware
and other bad programs use them as well. They are safe and you can view information on them on the internet to see for yourself.
Unfortunately many anti-malware programs flag every file a malware program uses. So safe files will get flagged as well. If your
anti-malware or antivirus' flags the files it would be a great idea to send the files to them and let them see they are not threats.
They should then update their programs to no longer flag the. Windows Defender warns the user of WinPcap but puts the warning as low.
If you are using Defender make sure to tell it to give WinPcap permission.
