NetWorx for Windows

Product snapshot

NetWorx is a lightweight, free utility for Windows that monitors bandwidth and network traffic. It gathers usage statistics and measures the speed of any network link — from Ethernet to PPP or dial-up — giving you an impartial view of your connection’s performance.

What it helps you do

• Detect potential causes of poor network performance, from local device problems to ISP issues.
• Avoid exceeding monthly or contracted bandwidth caps imposed by your internet provider.
• Spot unusual network activity that might indicate malware, Trojan behavior, or unauthorized access attempts.

Functional highlights

• Monitor either all active network interfaces at once or focus on a single adapter (for example, a specific Ethernet or dial-up connection).
• Visualize inbound and outbound traffic on a live line chart while the application logs detailed records to a file for historical review.
• Generate reports and summaries of daily, weekly, and monthly data usage as well as dial-up session durations.

Alerts and automation

• Highly configurable visual and audio alerts let you know when thresholds are crossed or when activity looks abnormal.
• Automatic actions: the program can terminate dial-up sessions and even shut down the PC if configured to do so.
• Optionally notify you when a network adapter becomes nonfunctional so you can take corrective steps quickly.

Compatibility and extras

• Portable builds can offer an autorun option to simplify use across systems.
• The user interface supports multiple languages.
• All executable components are digitally signed to improve trust and compatibility with security tools.

Recent fixes and enhancements

• Application binaries are now digitally signed for improved security and verification.
• Autorun support added to the portable editions for easier startup.
• Adapter health monitoring implemented to alert when a network interface stops functioning.
• Resolved an intermittent hang that could occur when resuming from standby.
• Fixed an issue that prevented selecting a custom background image for the traffic graph.
• Corrected the general usage screen so it displays properly after switching tabs.
• Expanded language support to include Greek, Catalan, and Hebrew.
