Question LiveGrid & Network Inspector equivalents ?

[karasahin]

Hi,

I've been using ESET for some time and these two features I like more than its other features.

But my subscription is about to expire so I'm exploring other options.

Thanks.

I've found out that Avast also has a Network Inspector feature so that's good but not a running processes list with some kind of feedback (LiveGrid). Does this thing really have no equivalent?

Avast - Network Inspector? Source(s)?

References - link?

More information needed.

I suggest using Window's Process Explorer (free) to monitor processes.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

You can also use Task Manager, Resource Monitor, Performance Monitor.

Also:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/t...networking/collect-data-using-network-monitor

Not uncommon for third party tools to simply take data provided and available within Window and simply repackage how the results are presented to the end user.

If you are truly interested in the operational details of Windows then look into using Powershell "Get- " cmdlets.

All free with plenty of documentation.

For example: "Get-Process".

Reference:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/p...ll.management/get-process?view=powershell-7.5

Advantages being "already included", "free", and generally customizable to meet your requirements and interests.

And you can build and run the cmdlets in scripts that, in turn, can be piped to files, printers, displays, or even into other cmdlets.

Google "Powershell network monitoring" for links and information about network related cmdlets.

And thanks a lot for recommending Process Explorer, even though it seems a little bit system consuming, it's very detailed and option to upload processes to Virustotal is also very nice.

I also appreciate about all the other info but this will do for me as I'm not "truly interested" about complicated stuff like that 😆

Still if you come across an AV that comes built-in like in ESET, I'd love to know.
