Who Wants To Monitor Their Usage Correctly?

[vodaminx]

Folks, I tried netmeter, which I've heard great reports about however there seems to be issues around its compatibility with Windows Vista, which are being addressed.

Unfortunately I'm not patient to wait for that to happen and search and then found this metering utility, it seems pretty good, I'm no expert tho but I thought I'd share it with you just in case.

Heres the link:

Let me know what you think, hope I've been of some help.

Hi
I see that tbbmeter makes use of Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant. If you use Firefox please be aware that when you update Windows (Vista) that includes .NET 3.5 Microsoft will install a Firefox addon called "ClickOnce" which you have no choice in and you cannot uninstall. There are many on the internet that consider .NET Framework Assistant/ClickOnce reduces the security of Firefox.

This update adds to Firefox one of the most dangerous vulnerabilities present in all versions of Internet Explorer: the ability for websites to easily and quietly install software on your PC.

Thanks Microsoft.
