Can you be a little more vague?

Ethereal + Cain & Abel = Network admin's best friends.

I can pinpoint an infected machine (whatever that virus with "bling.exe" is) on the network in about 10 seconds with those two open.

Edit - I assume no responsibility for you getting screwed over by any higher power in IT should you step on someone's toes with those.
