Check Who is Accessing your Wireless Connection

Using a good password for your Wireless Network does not necessarily mean that it will prevent others from hacking into it and using your Wireless Connection. Other people using your Wireless Connection can hog your Bandwidth and leave you with a very slow Internet Connection.If you have any doubts on whether or not your Wireless Connection is being accessed by someone else without your knowledge then you can check  out now by using a free tool-Wireless Network Watcher. This software allows you to scan your network to find who is using your network. You can also export the results and save then as .xml, .txt and a couple other formats for future use. This software is tested and working in 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 7, Windows Vista etc.
