IPNetSentry 1.3.3 is a firewall. This update fixes a bug where IPNetSentry reported port scans from Windows machines which were just booting up. The problem is that Windows machines often perform UDP Port 137, 138, and 67 scans upon restart in order to identify other machines on the network. In a heavy Windows environment this "chatter" could have repeatedly caused IPNetSentry to incorrectly report Port Scan type trigger alerts.

Who's There? 1.1.1 is a tool to analyze access attempts detected by your firewall. Presumably this is a bug-fix release.

EnterNet 1.23 is the most recent bug-fix release of this PPP over Ethernet client software with VPN support.

Tri-CATALOG 5.04 is a utility to catalog files on removable storage. No word on what has changed.

SwapTop 1.4 is a utility to download daily desktop pictures. This release adds supports for packs of photos from a WebShots gallery page, some OS X tweaks, and bug fixes.

LimeWire 2.1 is a Gnutella peer-to-peer file sharing client. No word on what is new in this update.

VueScan 7.4.1 is the latest update to this scanner software for flatbed and film scanners. It adds separate TIFF, JPEG and Raw size reduction options and fixes several bugs.
