This is excellent - I was looking for similar functionality just recently in the Windows networking system. I look forward to seeing what the paid features are!

Here's my minor feature request (I'm sure you'll get a hundred or so today) - how about a config setting to turn on an automatic virus scan of the executable on first network activity? I imagine this would not be enabled by default for performance reasons, but I'd like to run it this way for a few days before reverting to default settings.




ejp, you can manually do a virus scan of an exe on first network activity. Click the desktop alert then mouse over the file name and click "virus scan". This uses your own antiviruse software, not ours. Therefore if your antivirus is not up to date your scan won't be. We also thought about adding a virustotal.com upload there. Maybe we will add this as an option that's turned off by default. I worried that some users may complain about too much CPU usage. Thanks for the feedback/compliment!
