Sniffer is a program that analyzes network traffic in detail. It is used to troubleshoot network problems.

Sniffer is a protocol analyzer. It is a very powerful tool, that looks at network traffic at all layers of the OSI model and decodes the information so you can troubleshoot network related problems.

Hopefully you haven't deleted it, unless of course you have some means of recovery, as this software is not only a useful tool it also costs an arm and a leg to purchase
