Hi Jon, For what its worth, is it practical for you to turn off your wireless network when not using the internet? That's what I have been doing ever since I noticed that some one was trying to access my wireless modem. I also changed my password having a combination of letters, some capitalized, and numerals. Not sure how efficient this is against a hard core hacker, but ever since then my downloads have been well within my limits.
One of the more experienced listers may come up with a better solution though. Good luck & good night, Philippe C 2009/10/9 Jon Davison <photo...@iinet.net.au> > > > Hi everyone.
