Publisher's Description
From MetaGeek:
inSSIDer from MetaGeek is a free Wi-Fi network scanner for Windows Vista and Windows XP. Because NetStumbler doesn't work well with Vista and 64-bit XP, we built an open-source Wi-Fi network scanner designed for the current generation of Windows operating systems. Inspect your Wi-Fi and surrounding networks. You can: Scan and filter hundreds of nearby access points. Troubleshoot competing access points and clogged Wi-Fi channels. Highlight access points for areas with high Wi-Fi concentration. Track the strength of received signals in dBm over time. Sort results by MAC Address, SSID, Channel, RSSI, Export Wi-Fi and GPS data to a KML file in Google Earth. Compatible with most GPS devices (NMEA v2.3 +).
What's new in this version: Version 2.1.5.1393 update includes improvements, bug fixes, and a new look.

"Virus total says WATCH OUT!"
Version: inSSIDer 2.1.5.1393
Pros
I have a previous version that works very well.
Cons
In this version, VirusTotal returns a virus rating of 9/42 meaning 9 viruses where found by 42 of the most popular virus applications.
Summary
Don't download from CNET! CRAPWARE confirmed. If you download from http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/download/, VirusTotal says no viruses found.

"Great tool for surveying"
Version: inSSIDer 2.1.5.1393
Pros
Quickly shows me the info I need to survey a client site. Runs on my Win7 tablet (Lenovo X201). Works fairly well with touch.
Cons
Hopefully they will get it to work better with a touch screen.
I would like the ability to name/snapshot readings.
Note!! although not the fault of this software/program: be careful when installing from CNET as the defaults will try to install cr*pware.Summary
It is one of my "must haves" on my laptop/tablet.
