Thanks for the tip… simple and practical.
Step 4: How do I figure that out? Where have I to look for this information?
seriously??? did u see how much crapware that thing wants to install if you don’t decline everything!!!!

Thanks for the tip. Yes, Connectify is far more powerful and feature-rich than the former option, but it is complex to set up.To keep things simple I’ve recommended this.
i have to say that i installed this and yes it works like it should but really it’s insane how much crap it wants to install
use adwcleaner after install even if u checked all decline
The best app for Internet Connection Sharing for turning any PC into a wireless router is “Maryfi”. Everything else is a compromise!
Is it because of the crapware F-Secure claims the site has harmful?
