Looking at the screenshots, I did not think of this as an alternative to try.

Perhaps it does not surprise me to learn from the comments that this comes with malware. Furthermore, the website is also really ugly and full of spam. The screenshots also show the application expects you to put in a password for wireless points.

How does the creator expect anybody to trust such a poorly designed and poorly implemented application with wireless point passwords? I also do not trust all the likes given to this alternativeTo entry, which has put it at the top of alternatives to inSSIDer.

Terrible.

Hello Boss, All Cnet installers will include offers to support developer.

I had Kept Donate Button , None donated ,. So To Help my development I am using Cnet Installer which pays a half cent per install.

Ask Users in Facebook fan page of winhotspot .

I have my own fan followers (2K).

Its ok One in half Million downloads doesn't like.

Thanks for your negative comments. :)

Above all, it does not work but only crashes instantly. This is on Windows 10.

The installer attempts to download and install adware, which it gives you the option to de-select, but it tries to trick you into clicking "OK" and installing it anyway.

On top of that, it attempts to download something called "LUCKY SAVINGS-INTERNALINSTALLER.EXE" WITHOUT your consent or knowledge. There is no option to not install this. Oh, and it gets WORSE. When you attempt to uninstall Lucky Savings, it tries to install some DNS "fixer" which you absolutely don't need, and Symantec detects it as "Trojan.dropper". This is atrocious behavior, and incredibly shady, and I would recommend NOT downloading this software.

AVOID THIS SOFTWARE AT ALL COSTS.
