Portable PortExpert

Portable PortExpert is a super handy tool that helps you keep tabs on running processes connecting to remote addresses and ports. Why does this matter? Well, it can help you track down things like backdoors in your system.

Easy to Use and Portable

Since Portable PortExpert is portable, all you need to do is extract the files from the downloaded package and double-click the executable file to get started. The best part? It's really small, so you can stick it on a USB flash drive and use it on any computer without any setup hassle.

Run as Administrator for Full Features

If you want to unlock all its features, it's a good idea to run it as an administrator. When you launch the program, you'll see all your currently running applications that are connected to the internet right away—no manual scans required!

Real-Time Data Monitoring

You can check out details like process ID, protocol, process name, remote address, and port number for each application. And guess what? This info updates in real time!

What Actions Can You Take?

You’ve got some cool options too! You can run Whois searches for domain info using a web service or do a quick Google search. Plus, you can connect directly to the remote IP address using your browser or even open up the process location in Windows Explorer.

Freeze Processes & View Connections

If you want to pause data updates for any selected process, that’s possible too! You can also choose to show system processes in the list (but be careful with this if you're not sure what they are) and view local connections.

Logging Activity

This port monitoring tool keeps logs of its activities. However, it can't log exactly when or how long processes have made remote connections. A notification system for new connections would have been great here.

Smooth Performance

All in all, Portable PortExpert gives you a clear look at what's happening with your web-based applications. We tested it on the latest Windows version and found it ran smoothly without slowing down our machine at all.
