Angry IP Scanner is a very popular tool for network monitoring. It is being used by network administrators all over the world. It is featured in many magazine articles and other publications on security.

The program is very lightweight and unobtrusive (a user may just download and run it - no installation is needed). The full source code is available under the GPL license for anyone to review - there are no viruses or trojans.

Anti-virus software vendors (currently Symantec and McAfee), please stop considering it as a malware ('hacktool', 'potentionally unwanted program', etc). The users of both your anti-virus software and Angry IP Scanner are very disappointed about the removal of the program they actually need and use.

There is really no reason for doing that with Angry IP Scanner.

    • I am very disappointed with what I found about Mcafee and Semantic. I will not buy any of their products or advice anyone to buy their products in the future.

    • People always assume something good and widely used applications that are useful for both legal and illegal activities as simply illegel. That's not fair for those of us who use it for a legal purpose.
