McAffee wants your WiFi secure: "We'll refrain from the typical jokes about anti-virus software companies writing and releasing all the big viruses because this time McAffee seems to have its heart in the right place. You can download their new free WiFiScan app as a plugin for IE (yes, we'll go on record as saying there are a lot of unaware Windows users who probably could use something like this) which will do things like detect 'evil twin' networks and analyze local security settings. It's a good start, (we can apparently expect a stand-alone version called McAfee Wi-Fi Security this fall) but we'll be much happier when we see someone release an easy-to-use encrypted
tunnelling/VPN solution for wireless roaming. Only then will we feel at all secure taking our machines onto those nasty, scary foreign networks. [Via The Wireless Weblog]"—Engadget
