SoftPerfect WiFi Guard is an intuitive program, designed to keep you informed in that regard. Software to help you see all the devices on your Wi-Fi address has been developed with this goal in mind: to make life easier when it comes to spotting if any unwanted people are using your network. Checking who else is also on the same network as you is a bit tough, and accessing router data isn't always possible, plus it can be tough to navigate through those menus. Please note, the program is free for Windows and Linux, but the Mac version costs $9.99.Whether it's connecting to the public address at the mall or using our private, home network, Wi-Fi is everywhere. 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 the 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.
