PromiscDetect checks if your network adapter(s) is running in promiscuous mode, which may be a sign that you have a sniffer running on your computer.
Q: What would be the response for an adapter in "normal" mode?
A: It would be the filters Directed, Multicast, and Broadcast.
Q: When I double-click on the client file, a window comes up and disappears immediately. What is wrong?
A: You must run the file from a Command Prompt.
Q: How reliable is this tool?
A: It is reliable as long as the attacker does not intercept and modify things somewhere between the tool and the adapter. Look at it this way: if the tool tells you that, the adapter is in promiscuous mode it probably is - but if it does not you should not just assume that the adapter is not in promiscuous mode.
Q: My adapter is in promiscuous mode but there is no sniffer in my computer. What is wrong?
A: For example, VMWare puts your adapter in promiscuous mode even if you are not running a sniffer.
