JUST WONDERING DO YOU MEAN - I NEED A SECOND PHONE CONNECTION OR DO I JUST USE THE CABLE FROM THE PHONE AND CONNECT IT TO THE MODEM - THUS USING BOTH LINES FROM THE PHONE SPLITTER TO GAIN ADDITIONAL SPEED

i'm nnew to this.this update sounds important but i havent a clue what it means

The patch allows more connections which allows more bandwidth to flow freely to and from your computer. But unless you have a very fast connection it really wont make any difference. At least from my experience but it won't hurt anything if you do install it.

thanks again

I just ran an adaware scan and Adaware found the above mentioned update to be adware. Even though it said that it is a low risk program, is it safe to keep?

Plus Adware named it Hacktool. It also stated the purpose of the update and said that it could cause system boot failure.

My virus scanner does the same I installed it and it stopped my whole internet from working. Can anyone answer that question. its working now as i rebooted xp up

Of course it is a hack it is editing the registry to allow more connections thus allowing better bandwidth flow to your computer. Windows XP only allows 10 half open connections the tool bumps it up to 50 half open connections. Thus hacking Windows to allow more connections and bandwidth flow. But unless you have a very fast Internet connection it will not help. But if you do have a 1 gig or faster connection it will help. At least from my experience.

I have been reading posts trying to figure out why my video downloads are so slow (2 - 10 kbps). I used your link to find my speed and it is 12,374 kbps or 15,468 KB/sec. Are my downloads happening at a normal speed? I'm new so I don't know what to expect but it seems that they are terribly slow. I have turned off my Norton firewall and am using the Windows firewall instead.

it says pup found
