| | ScanSpyware is a questionable product; it is believed to return "false positives" to entice you to purchase/upgrade. The company that makes ScanSpyware also apparently advertizes on sites known to distribute the CoolWebSearch trojan. Use only trusted anti-spyware programs such as Ad Aware and SpyBot. |

| | Programs (and the operating system itself) will automatically create temp files when they start up, and many of these temp files are needed in order for the program/OS to run. These necessary files can usually not be deleted until the process which spawned them has quit. Most of the time … |
| | You might want to choose the "Prompt" option instead of "Enable" for Active X; allowing any and all Active X controls to run makes your system more prone to infection by spyware, trojans, hijacks, etc. With the options set to "Prompt" at least you'll be asked for permission before a … |

| | [QUOTE=Oeg]Is this like installing new video drivers?[/QUOTE] Much more like like flash-upgrading your computer's BIOS, and as alc6379 mentioned, you shouldn't do it unless you're positive that it will fix your specific problem- a botched firmware upgrade can definitely turn your router into a paperweight. A lot of manufacturers will … |
