I say this with all confidence, having read the help file but never having tried it g.

If you run the scans he

http://scan.sygate.com/

you will find out if there are any other vulnerabilities.

The first site gave your internal IP. Your router is probably one address below, eg if your internal is 192.168.0.2, your router will probably be 192.168.0.1. Hit start, then run, type CMD and hit return. In that window, type "IPCONFIG /ALL" (without the quotes). If you look through the information displayed, you will see a setting for Default Gateway. Enter that address into your browser preceded by http://. In the above example, that would be http://192.168.0.1. With most routers, that will open their configuration page.

Let me know how you get on.
Ok, now I did what you said and got the same IP addresses listed, I got a differant default gateway address though. I tried doing what you said with the http:// it wouldn't let me on that site. It asked for a username and password.

Help, what do I do with all of these numbers? Can I change them, protect them or what? I keep getting strange things sent to me like someone knows personal information about me. How can I not be traced/searched?
