What about Security

Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain amount of
responsibility to other Internet users—including the need to maintain a reasonably secure
system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the following tips to enhance your
system's security:
Keep the operating system of your computer updated with the latest security patches.

Run the system update utility at least weekly.
Keep your email program updated with the latest security patches. In addition, avoid

opening email containing attachments, or opening files sent through chat rooms,
whenever possible.
Install a virus checker and keep it updated.

Avoid providing web or file-sharing services over your Telephony Gateway. Besides

certain vulnerability problems, most cable companies prohibit running servers on
consumer-level accounts and may suspend your account for violating your terms of
service.
