        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-264396-2536115]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[I tried this program on a Dell Latitude D620 under WinXP Pro SP2 with ZoneAlarm. It promptly completely sequestered my computer from all communication over my wireless card even though I told it to accept SSIDs without encryption. I was not able to find any configuration that restored communication. It also would not let me uninstall it (error 1922).  I was able to reach AirDefense and learn how to uninstall (doesn't seem to be documented): 1)Through the tray icon, stop the service; 2) Through the tray icon exit the program; and then 3) use Add/remove to remove the program. This removed the program on my computer, but left the entry in the Add/Remove list. Note that the installation should also create a system restore point that you can revert back to.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I installed Air Defense Lite on a HP Pavillion with WinXP SP2 and a Conceptronic 54Mbps wireless USB adapter. WZC was disabled by the Conceptronic Wireless Network Config Utility which was set to &quot;Infrastructure Only&quot; in the same way as Windows wireless network properties. Despite this, Air Defense Lite reported &quot;Alert WLAN AdHoc mode enabled&quot; (incorrectly) and also (correctly) that the PC was connected to an unsecured AP and also (???) that the network was not encrypted.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I would very much appreciate hearing about any issues with Personal Lite.  I usually forward them to Air Defense. Also, I've noticed that NetStumbler on occasion does not always report Ad hoc networks that are within range.I look forward to hearing about your next visit. Thanks, Michael]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The PC concerned is definitely not configured to allow Ad Hoc connections, neither is any other visible PC. According to Netstumbler there was no Ad Hoc network available at the time I ran Air Defense on the PC, but one did appear later. I will collect more evidence next Monday when I am at the club. Thanks for replying.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Michael,Thank you for taking the time to review and write about our product, AirDefense Personal Lite.  We developed the &quot;Lite&quot; version of AirDefense Personal for individuals that frequently use wireless and need additional protection.  We do hope it drives interest in other AirDefense products; however, our sales team does not regularly pursue individuals that download AirDefense Personal Lite.  We focus our sales efforts on Global 2500 companies, government, and defense organizations.As you noted, we have not created a version of AirDefense Personal Lite for Vista.  We are considering it; however, I do not have a timeline I can provide.  When a Vista version is available, we will make sure to post an update to TechRepublic.A few individuals mentioned having trouble registering to download the software.  We are looking into the issue and will correct it as soon as possible.  We are also going to clearly post a warning that the software is not Vista compatible.We have a great team of engineers at AirDefense, and we are always happy to hear when people find our products useful.  Thanks again for taking the time to post your review &amp; comments online.Kind regards,David ThomasVP, Product StrategyAirDefense, Inc.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-264396-2509253]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[One reason I like Personal Lite is its uniqueness. I don't know of another client-side application that has all of the same features. As for trustworthy, AirDefense has a solid reputation and is used extensively by the DoD. There are network-centric security applications hosted on Wi-Fi managing switches or controllers that poll all of the APs for security concerns. AirDefense and most enterprise Wi-Fi systems have that technology available. In this article, I was trying to focus on the individual Wi-Fi notebooks that are vulnerable when public/hostile Wi-fi networks. Most Wi-Fi security applications aren?t setup like Personal Lite. Before Personal Lite, I used firewall or IDS applications to try and get similar results. The advantage to Personal Lite is that it?s designed specifically for Wi-Fi monitoring which I see as very helpful. I'm sorry to not be of more help.  If you describe your specific need, I should be able to get more detailed as to whether an enterprise solution would be a better fit or not.]]></description>
