ICEWatch
ICEWatch is designed to watch the attacks recorded against your computer by BlackICE Defender, distributed by ISS. BlackICE is a software firewall which will protect your computer from intrusion attempts through any TCP/IP network connection.
While BlackICE does a great job protecting your computer from network intrusions or attacks and its user interface (UI) has improved with each release, the UI does not allow you to do many things you might want to do (e.g. simple copy / paste of attack data or sorting by any combination of attack parameters). This is where ICEWatch comes in.
ICEWatch monitors the attack list created by BlackICE. It warns you when new attacks have been recorded, allows you to run a program after each attack, makes it simple to copy / paste attack data or send e-mail messages to the offender's ISP, and much more (click here for a screen shot).
ICEWatch is freeware, meaning it is freely available, though you may not change the program or documentation, nor may you charge anyone for its use or distribution. If you have any questions or comments, please visit the Contacts page.
You may download the ZIP file containing ICEWatch and its help file from the download page, which also explains how to install ICEWatch.
Once you have installed ICEWatch, the simplest way to update it is from the ICEWatch HELP menu; please see the help file documentation for more information.

People have asked me about paying something, despite the freeware status, because they find ICEWatch so useful. If you find ICEWatch useful and would like to make some sort of financial contribution, I'd like to suggest that you do so in the form of a donation to a local charity in your area. I work on ICEWatch because I enjoy writing good code; if using that code leads you to contribute to a local charity, so much the better! If you cannot think of a good, local charity, how about your local Boys & Girls Club in the USA, or the International Red Cross / Red Crescent elsewhere?
