Hey I cant believe its added. I have the Midco max package which is now 25/2 I like the extra upload. it will be nice when Midco finishes with there 50/5 connection to the rest of the areas, 50 meg down can we say "Faster then a speeding bullet lol"

You, really don't need to defrag your computer everyday. You shouldnt even have to reboot your modem everyday either.

What happened to your insane speeds that you were always getting like over a year ago?

I have always like NOD32 by Eset

Yes well if your inbound is protected thats the most important and if your running an AV program especially i know for fact NOD32 does protect you against all forms of malware so therefore you woudlnt have anything installed on your pc to produce malacious activity. Not to mention Vista runs by default as a limited user anyway so theres really no damage a program can do especially since UAC will pop up and ask you if your wanting that program to run especially if the programs not installed but then again if everybody used some sort of security software and dont open up attachments from unknown users and dont download programs from unknown sites then you should be fine. Also I do agree that if a person does want to have control outbound connection where they can configure the rules then yes the'll have to download a third party software or in my experinces its better just to have a suite and make sure there firewall does both incoming and outbound. Vista on the other does some outbound protection in the background.

Yes the Smart Security version of NOD32 does include a firewall just like every other suite does, i myself dont use a third party firewall as i have found out they tend to slow down networks and also if you have a router with a NAT and SPI then windows built in firewall will be good enough. NOD32 antivirus does everthing except it doesnt come with the firewall but the smart security edition does

Most likely its a port scanner, scanning yoru ports, do you have a NAT router or are u just connecting directly to the cable modem. I myself like NOD32 its alot faster then Kaspery and has gotten the most VB100 awards then any other, Kasp can slow your connection down especially if you use the web filtering.

try tweaking your settings especially with xp since the default settings are not optimized for high speeds. go over to www.speedguide.net and download the TCP Optimizer tool

Are you using Vista or XP??? and where do you live, like what state and do you live in town or in the country those have alot of factors when it comes with speed, I can get around 20mb with my provider with all my wireless laptops so its not the wireless thats the issue its either your OS, your router, wireing, and even settings.
