McAfee Simple Internet Meter v2.0.0

Simple Internet Meter is my new bandwidth monitor. After my
program CS Fire Monitor came out years ago I had many requests
for added features. Many of those features where not possible to
add using the Windows API. Such as seeing what is internet
traffic and what is local network traffic. The only way to
accomplish this is to look at the packet data. So I made this
program using WinPcap and PacketX.dll.

More info on PacketX and WinPcap can be found here.

As many of the users know from my other work I am a performance
nut. I try to have my programs run fast and clean all the while
taking as little out of the system as possible. I put extra
effort into Simple Internet Meter to make sure it does its 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.

A great feature I included was the ability for other programs to
read the current data from the program. Such as a screen saver. I
wrote a screen saver and is included with the program. I included
the source code for the screen saver (VB 6) so other programmers
can see how to work with Simple Internet Meter. The reason I
added this was so other programmers can make their own programs
read from it. You may ask besides a screen saver what other
program would need this info? Well some new keyboards are coming
out with LCD screens and such so one good example is a program to
display the stats to that LCD screen. If you have written a
program to work with Simple Internet Meter please contact me and
let me know, I will be more than happy to post a link as along as
the program is safe to use.
