Does not work well with Win7. This software has not been updated in years and harkens back to Win Vista days.

Just tried downloading and installing Network Stumbler. It came with a large set of malware downloads including a downloader active agent. Seems like it was pretending to be a zip opener. No permission was asked, and no options were presented to opt-out of the extra crudware.
In any case, cleanup required uninstalling at least three programs, running a Windows System restore to a previous date, and then running MalwareBytes, in order to completely remove all traces of malware.
This was an experience of the worst kind of misleading BS crapware.
