    after scanning , be sure to choose an empty channel (if u can ) , and be sure its away 2 or 3 channels from a busy channel ( if u can ) , enjoy
    N.B. : your wireless channel also appear in the scan so don't count ur channels as a busy channel if u r the only on using it :D

    kaspersky is sometimes lucky to detect the time of day.

    with all of the other wifi scanners out there there is no reason to use one that stores or collects data from your machine.
