Just a quick, obvious question.... Have you scanned for viruses or adware lately?

I personally have a Netgear 318 router. They work very well. The firewall does a good job catching intrusions and suspicious traffic. You can set the log to be e-mailed to you at various times. You can even have the router talk to a syslog demon. The down site to it is the VPN configuration...
