It also offers you the possibility to export the list of devices as a text file, so you can keep a copy of the list of trustworthy devices. You can programme WIFI Guard to check your network every certain time or to let you know when an unknown device connects to your network, so you won´t have to worry about checking the list, you just have to minimize it so it stays in the system tray. With just one click you will be able to add a personalized name and mark the trustworthy devices. You´ll be able to see the name of the computers, their MAC addresses and the IP address with which they are connected. To avoid this, WIFI Guard allows you to quickly see who is connected to your network. Note that this is the portable edition (and Windows only).If you have a WiFi network and the connection isn´t going very well, there´s a possibility that a neighbour is `borrowing´ it. It's also lightweight and entirely free (no adware concerns), so if you're interested then you can try the program without suffering any hassles, penalties or problems. SoftPerfect Wifi Guard does provide a simple extra layer of protection, though. Plainly this is no substitute for proper wireless network security, such as using the highest levels of encryption supported by all your network devices. SoftPerfect Wifi Guard will scan your system every half hour, though, and if anything new and unknown has connected in the meantime then you'll be informed via a suitable pop-up alert. Which, initially at list, will probably dwindle to nothing at all. If you recognise a device as legitimate - a network storage device, say, or another system on your network - then right-click it, select Properties, check "I know this computer or device" and it'll be removed from the danger list. Anything that's clearly a part of the infrastructure, like the PC you're working on or your router will be flagged as green, but everything else will be marked as red: a potential intruder. The program requires no installation (the Windows build, anyway) - just run it, and SoftPerfect Wifi Guard will quickly scan your network and display any devices it finds. SoftPerfect Wifi Guard is a simple tool which makes it easy to detect intruders on your local network.
