I have been following the thread on Spyware/non-spryware programs, such as WeatherBug. Spyware is a major concern. I keep my home computers and the 300 PC's at work I am responsible for as spyware free as possible. But, even if WeatheBug is not spyware, it still sits there on an open Internet connection via our company (actually State) Lan/Wan. Many of my users have downloaded internet-live screen savers, games and utilities (such as "WeatherBug") and have them running constantly. And then there are the internet radio stations and such (many of which, but not all, are blocked by the firewall).
How much (with a 100 or so active users doing so) bandwidth do these programs suck from the network?? The network, at best, is never fast enough. These can't be helping! ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
