<description><![CDATA[Hi, normally I don't write a comment when I have not installed the GOTD, however today I have to answer two "reviewers" who too haven't anything written about the tool. 
@ #21 ww2vet56 and @ #22 A :
 Both of you are right and are not right regarding the comments. Some commentators are gone others have joined the community. It is ridiculous to quote numbers of a pseudo statistic as if this would be of any evidence. <em>"9 of 10 quality comment posters have left"</em> and how many have joined? Sometimes "Real Live" forces people to change their habits. 
 None of the users who posts a review are somehow affiliated with GOTD or GGOTD,there is no <em>"dedicated professional reviewer"</em>, all of them are volunteers just as the moderators and administrators of the Forums. And as WitheRabbit aka Stephen. He posts the free games he has found in the WWW when he will, when his computers will, when the telecom will, when the sun is shining or the snow falls in thick flakes. He is the "Guru" of the games community with a lot of "co-gamers" who posts games as well. These activities have nothing to do with the quality of the daily Giveaways. Only with a great love to games and with the joy at sharing their treasures.

<description><![CDATA[Installs &amp; runs fine on xp pro media edition sp 2. Does what it says, easy &amp; simple. A nice helper to have! :) Actually, I needed this right now. THANK YOU!!! Other reviwers/commenters above pretty much said it all. It's a keeper!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dunno, thanks BuBBy and Ashraf,(your comments make a lot of sense) Personally I have no need for this program so I'll give it a miss, I can see where if you have a home network or an unsecured LAN setup this program would serve a purpose. Um #21 hah!~(just shakes his head sadly)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth...
I've gotten MANY very useful programs from GOTD in just a couple months.  I for one am grateful for what they do, the programs that they offer, and the vendors that provide them.  Everybody keeps comparing them to free programs, which is fine, but why do so many complain about what is free this day or that day?? Trashing GOTD for what free programs they give you is like a homeless guy kicking somebody in the nuts for giving him pistachio ice cream when he wanted chocolate.  No, it wasn't chocolate, but it was free and he wouldn't have had the chance to have it if it wasn't offered.  And like the homeless guy who can go find some chocolate ice cream, you can go digging around and find alternatives if you want, but don't get upset with GOTD if you don't like what they are giving away, just come back another day.  Leave your comments, give them a thumbs up or thumbs down, review the pertinent aspects of the program, but stop bitching about GOTD.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How positively pathetic? An offer up for 18 hours + with 18 comments &amp; a 25% user approval rating! Please, before you loose what little respect remains, close for a week &amp; regroup.
Every quality vendor has left. 9 of 10 quality comment posters have left. Even Stephen doesn't bother posting his free games here anymore and still, nobody at GOTD has gotten it.
I do apologize but it's past due that someone steps up &amp; speaks his /her mind. These offers are lousy, truly lousy. Every day, someone lists better free alternatives. Even the greedy no longer bother to suck up. As of today, I have zero give aways on either my Vista or XP systems. I think it's time someone here starts wondering why. If you don't like this post, to bad! This is exactly whats needed saying for weeks now.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Good
    * Easy to use and understand.
    * Simple and straightforward interface.
    * You can ban computers via network name or IP.
    * You can see folders/locations that you are currently sharing.

	
The Bad
    * Monitoring is kind of buggy.
    * Displays a lot of "junk" information.

Free Alternatives
Look at comment #3 by Bubby

Verdict
As I mentioned earlier, the concept behind Active Share Monitor I found to be nice. But the fact that it does not monitor activity 100% accurately really makes me frown at this program and forces me to give it a thumbs down. As for my recommendation for today, all of the free alternatives are pretty old and I have not had a chance to test the free alternatives, but looking over them, I would say first give ShareWatch a try then try the rest if ShareWatch does not fit your needs. If all else fails, you can just fall back to Windows Computer Management.

<description><![CDATA[#17, close the program, and be sure it isn't running in the background, either.  Run activation, then open the program.  It will register.

This is a simple, clean program with easy to understand help files.  I think it's a great idea to check that there isn't some back door action going on.  Any time there is a home network, there is some possibility that it could be compromised.  This looks like a good safety measure.

Thanks, GAOTD!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[On XP SP3 it does what is says it does, and quite easily... easier than learning the (free) OS intricacies of file sharing security. May I say that commenting on the usefulness of software that you're not going to use, is like a vegan talking about the spicing on my  beefsteak. Can we please keep the evaluation comments to the *useability* and *functionality* and *stability* rather than the importance of it in your personal universe.]]></description>
