Autoscan-network and W7 problems

Hi All,

I love this utility for finding rogue devices, access points
bridges, etc. on networks. It finds everything, including
stuff not on your "network" (192.168.0.0/24 is what mean by
network).

Auto-scan Network:
http://autoscan-network.com/

Use it on Linux all the time. Sometimes I need to run it on Windows 7.
It won't let me choose a network adapter. It is the same
problem this guy had and never got answered:

http://autoscan-network.com/forum/ex...45deaacaed3c29

"I've installed Autoscan on a windows 7 pc, but once
I open the app it does not pick up my network adapter
and then window says not responding.

The only answer he got was French spam.

Anyone know how to get this working in Windows 7?

Many thanks,
-T

If you install then uninstall, it only uninstalls a small part.
You have to monitor the install process and note what is actually being
installed.
Then you have to uninstall each item through add / remove apps.

I am not following. I only installed it once.

Just in case someone you advertise to decides to try it but does not
like it.
I tried it, did not like it and had to uninstall a bunch of stuff; not
just the "main app". The install installs other stuff that an
uninstall does not remove.

How does Todd even know that's safe ?

There is supposed to be source on the author's site, but the source
is "mysteriously missing". And a check in web.archive.org shows
the source has never been available from the source download link.

So all you're getting is installers, no matter what platform.

Doesn't sound like a very safe delivery mechanism to me.

I just moved on.

One site, extolling the virtues of that program, suggests
if the "bin.tar.gz" file for Linux doesn't install for you, to
run it as root. How clever :-)

Somehow reminds me of what the Wolf, as Grandma, said to Little Red
Riding Hood

"Why do I have to run as Root, Grandma?..."

I ran it through Virus Total.

Do you have a favorite device identifier utility to substitute for
Autoscan-network?

Why did this go unanswered?

Inquiring minds need to know.
