    This thing simply rocks. Had a lot of PGs similar in function, but by no way so feature rich.

    Still I have some points:
    - interface could be more intuitive (maybe lines between the listed positions) (but of course please stick to a pure Windows style)
    - apps like PING or TRACE should be multi threaded... there is no reason why one should wait for them and not look around at some other portions of the program

    Anyway: just great!

    No trojan alert here, NOD32 running.

    Works well, although a tad slow gathering details.

    Haaglander, please swing on over to the NOD32 entry on this site, and give that turd a rating of 1, because NOD32 is at fault for giving you a false positive.

    I like SIW, but its slowness annoys me. It's just not very convenient for things like viewing fan speeds or software product keys.

    To Haaglander:

    Nod32 is misleading you:

    Nowadays, I only trust Kaspersky and DrWeb as all other AVs have too many false positives.

    The virus alert is now removed by Nod32.
    Thus, false alarm
