That download is a trial version. McAfee no longer make available a free
version.

I installed this on someone's W2K computer about a week ago.
When you install it, I believe there is a choice to use the $$$
version in trial mode or the free version.

Looking at http://www.wirelesssecuritycorp.com/...PAAssistant.do, I
get the impression that McAfee has scooped the freebie and it's not available
except bundled with their virus protection plan.

Have I got it right?

If not, where to get just WPAAssistant.do?

If so, alternatives? Microsoft?

I installed this on my machine to try it out. The options you are given are
to start a free trial, connect to a network that is already protected by
McAfee Wireless Security or to cancel. I have placed a screendump of this
dialog here:

The dialog dissapears and you it seems you can continue to use the program
as usual. However the link you gave is the same link that is on the main
page (i.e. not hard to find) and is titled 'Free 30 Day Trial':

http://www.wirelesssecuritycorp.com/...o?sequenceNo=2

I suppose the real question is what happens in 30 days time?

I believe it will still work. Just check the box that states don't
show this screen again when you first set it up and select the Cancel
button. Obviously, McAfee wants people to spend some $$$.

Yes, if it is still operational after the 30 days, which is a definite
possibility, then it is certainly ambiguous information.
