|
|
| I would like to know if WPE is safe to download/use. If it is safe I would like to know why it is picked up as a virus and I would also like a download link(no mega upload or anything like that). |

It's a packet sniffer. I think that's why it comes up as a virus. _________________

Well, I don't know much about it, I never used it, might want to wait for a more educated person to help you. _________________

WPE Pro is not virus. The reason AVs identifies it as a virus is because it scans packets going through the network, outbound and inbound.
For example: with the correct knowledge, you can easily intercept and read a login packet of a website, giving you the username and password. |

The program doesn't send the packets to anyone(other than me) right? |

No, it doesn't send info anywhere other than displaying them. |
