    Cable/DSL Router
    Just a quick note about this.
    I have used a Linksys Router for some years with great satisfaction, however, through complacency or wahatever, I did not change the default password etc on it. One day I was surprised to find that my firewall (Zone Alarm Pro had stopped a high level attempt at access.
    When I checked my modem I found that the password had been changed!
    I immediately wiped my modem data and installed a new high level password. There have been no subsequent access attempts.
    So I advise everyone now to change their modem passwords and not to leave it with just the default one

    regards
    Fred

    Hi Terry,
    I have read the comments about different spam filtering including the Spam Bully I use but I have been receiving e-mails from friends lately that at bottom checked my SpamFighter. Know anything about it or any comments. Thank you again for great material each week. Very much appreciated.
