1 stars (Lies and then more lies) - The product did not work with Parkervision routers, and evidently does not with others as well. The response from OTO software is that they would come up with a solution in a "timely" manner. Three months later an email to them resulted in the reply that they were not going to be doing anything like that at all. A waste of money and time. 5 stars (Easy and it Works) - I've often bought programs similar to this one and they didn't work much and were a waste. Not this! It's easy, and works! Useful to see the current connections too. They gave the correct list of default passwords for the routers. It works with the Linksys Range Expander and you can Friend/Foe/Unknown that devise. I was worried it would not work w/ my network, spend hours on this, frustation, but none of that! A charm. Highly recommend! 5 stars (A 'must' for wireless networks) - As a tech guy who supports both home and small business users, I am always on the lookout for high-tech products that will either simplify my job or provide a better experience for my clients. Wi-Fi Defense does both. Before I started recommending Wi-Fi Defense for my clients' networks (I use it on my own, too), I would often get calls asking me why a new user or device couldn't get on the network. I would then have to try to walk my client through logging into the wireless router and making the appropriate, complex adjustments. Oftentimes this led to inadvertent changes or just mass confusion. Although this wasn't fun for me or my clients we suffered through it in an attempt to secure their wireless networks. With Wi-Fi Defense that confusion and those calls are a thing of the past because the software enables people who know nothing about computers to guard against unauthorized users on their network while making sure the users that want to have access can. Before Wi-Fi Defense came out it might have been forgivable to not secure your wireless network because of the complexities in...

5 stars (Way Better Than Trend Micro PC-Cillin) - I was using Trend Micro PC-Cillin and kept having viruses. I could not figure out why until I read an article in PC World that told that Trend does not detect or remove spyware/adware. Knowing that viruses can come in with spyware/adware I realized that my problem was in part the protection I bought. Taking a friend's advice who sets up computer systems and networks them for a living I bought the stand alone Norton Bundle of Anti Virus and Personal Firewall. I must say I have never been more pleased than I have with Norton. It has kept me protected solidly and I feel it was worth every penny and do not forsee ever switching again. Being told by a co worker i was not smart to have switched from Trend I decided to double check some of Norton's scan reports by doing the free scan at the trend site and the program that before was telling me i had all these viruses was now backing up what Norton told me and saying i was totally clean. Go figure. It might be not as easy to install or use as Trend claims to be but when you want computer protection you want SOLID protection not just the easiest thing to use. 1 stars (Buggy and tech support is virtually non-existent.) - Buggy buggy buggy! On one computer, I can only get NPF to load on 1/3 of all boots (warm or cold). On my other computer, the central (yet separate) updating program -- Symantec LiveUpdate -- automatically CHANGES its connectivity options ITSELF nearly every day, which causes the "LiveUpdate settings" to become "corrupt," making updating either NPF or NAV impossible unless. . . . One goes through a cumbersome process of scanning the entire hard drive(s) for LiveUpdate's configuration settings, removes them manually, goes to the control panel to reconfigure NEW settings, and then reboots. This works (temporarily) to fix the problem, but it takes about 10 minutes. Do that 10-12 times per week, and you can imagine the frustration factor. Periodically, this ...
