Just answer this one, I do not like to go too far off-topic on what is originally CharleyO's thread. Hope he will forgive me. This Wifi Guard tool checks from the OS every 30 minutes...router, modem and comp against being compromised..

There are folks that ridicule Gibson as a security researcher, but I always held him in high esteem for what he reports and brought us,

Actually, it may be the folksy writing style that some may not like.

He offers free tools such as UpnP, Dcombulator, etc., and could not have set up system the way it is without his help.

As far as I know SoftPerfect Wifi Guard is only a program that detects/notifies you about new connections, it shouldn't have any effect on the test whether you have Wifi Guard or not.
