The info on this mention "Create Wireless HotSpot Without Logging In To Your PC"...what does this mean?
I have never used this feature, so I really can't say how it works. I would guess it may have to do with how it's loaded in the autorun entry, which is in
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, but I don't know if that makes it load before you actually log on. The other entry I have in this is WinPatrol, for example. Maybe some more knowledgeable user reading this could tell us if using this entry will have this effect.
I tried the one mentioned above by me under Shadow Defender & worked good....OSToto Hotspot (former name 160WiFi)
Simple & easy to use, WPA2 Protection, Custom SSID & Password, NAT, etc...so whats the risk with this?
I have tried PC Faster before, but it was not effective overall, and the hotspot feature in particular never worked for me. If this works for you and you want to use the program, it's not risky - it's not malware. It's a Baidu product, and it's not very different from using other products that gather user info for advertising. The only important detail to consider, if you want to use this, and if it actually works, is that you will have a program running that does other things besides providing a hotspot for you, so you'll have some quite unnecessary overhead in case you don't appreciate the other features - which in my experience are not worth the trouble.
