I want to install a program or eager to know a method of how to create a wireless port from my WiFi devices. I've seen previous post about the Connectify, but apparently their download link has potential adware that my computer capture. It's called Win32/Opencandy and this type of script can allow potential personal information stream to various third party networks.
Is there any program that could have the same function as Connectify?
Thanks.

On a different note this download is a nice proof that Microsoft is taking protection
seriously
and puts a lot of effort into Defender and Security Essentials.While built-in Defender prompted me immediately on double-click it seems like no AntiVirus seems to care about this stuff http://cl.ly/2J083K463S3C2s3f1N2m
