<< AD-Aware lack of updates >> I use Ad-aware 6 Plus, Build 6.181, with Ad-Watch (in addition to SyBot - S&D, Spyware Blaster, and SpywareGuard). Ad-aware 6 Plus reference file updates are very frequent. There was one a day or 2 back, and a new one today (01R21604.09.2003). When I've run it without Ad-Watch live, it has been catching tracking cookies and data miners not blocked by the others. It just blasted 6 of them after the latest scan. Note that the individual who wrote Langa says: I have version 6.0, they have stopped Update access to any release less than build 181.... If I cannot even manually download and install the Updates to my older build of the current version, then this utility will go into my Dumpster and I will never use Lavasoft again. Sometimes one gets what one pays for. Best, - Eric -

Hi Gottfried, I've been using SpyBot Search & Destroy. Had a Toolbar that would not go away with AD-Aware. Spybot cleared that baby for my screen. Like the features also. Free ! Mitch ;)

WEP and wi-fi security: in the Linksys DHCP set-up the default number of users is 500. This guy suggests changing it to the actual number of machines you have [mine is 2]. That prevents intruders from accessing your signal [?], providing your machines are running. I don't know, but it can't hurt. wi-fitechnology.com Gottfried
