Are You Being Used?

Is your WiFi safe? Do you know if anyone is "piggybacking" on your connection? McAfree has launched a free online WiFiScan product which is now available on the company's Web site. It downloads an ActiveX control that scans your wireless network and warns about potential security breaches and describes how to fix them. It can detect, for instance, the presence of an Evil Twin threat, as well as what networks and network-enabled devices are near-by.

The standalone product will proactively provide security. For instance, if it detects there is lax security, it could directly change settings in either a router or on a desktop or laptop computer.

If you have a WiFi network then click on the headline which will take you to the download page. Did I mention that this free? Go get it.
