The new gadget is a new work in progress and is available from the Microsoft Gadget site here. but if you have trouble downloading it from there try the local copy here

It has a slight different look and has been reworked to better support install and (more importantly) uninstall; the above versions required special step to uninstall. Over time the functionality will be on parity but at the current release only probe and status reporting is enabled. The gadget does have 1 new feature lacking in the earlier versions, the ability to proxy through my website. This was added because a number of users run the gadget in an environment that blocks requests to ports other than 80 and the proxy allows the gadget to use port 80 to connect to a proxy on my website and bounce to the real port to get information.
