Re: Anti virus
This is a feature: its how we check for network processes (eg, host antivirus, network gateways, etc) which block known viruses. The file is not an actual virus, but the EICAR virus "test" file, a small harmless .com that the AV vendors have largely agreed to recognize as a "virus" to enable testing:
Q: My anti-virus program triggered an alert while Netalyzr was running. Why?
A: As part of our content-filtering tests, we download the EICAR antivirus test file into the applet. This file is harmless and designed to test correct functionality of antivirus software. Any related warnings or alerts thus merely signal correct functioning of your antivirus installation and can safely be ignored.

| i agree...I received a report stating that it was incomplete, however, it did give me other information that I found useful. But the Kaspersky version for Windows 7 absolutely hates that site. I've recieved numerous warnings during test and in one case it completely blocked the site when trying to see it through browser IE 8. I suppose thats what I get for using 2 betas.

OpenDNS returns red flags because unknown lookups don't work as intended, and are instead redirected to OpenDNS ads page. The description explicitly describes why it's both okay (OpenDNS needs to make money) and how it can break functionality sometimes though.

1 edit | Can anybody tell me about this buffer cache problem
Can someone interpret my results for me?
I don't understand where the buffering cache is located; i.e., my computer, my router, my gateway, my ISP (Digizip) or at COVAD.
I have a COVAD ADSL circuit over AT&T copper. There have been mighty speed, latency and bounce problems on my internet connection. I pay for 6/1 service, and am safe moded to 1.5/768, and receive 1.2/.5 actual. |

next time instead of attaching a mile long, impossible to properly read image, why don't you paste the provided perma-link to your results?! |

Your modem has this buffer, and this usually only poses a problem when you're uploading en masse while also trying to do something requiring generally low latency.
This problem has existed for years, it's as old as broadband. (Telephone modems had flow control.)

| Buffer Sizing...
The buffer size is how much data the bottneck will fill up with before dropping packets.
It may be counterintuitive, but you don't actually want it too big: You want to hold ~300ms or so of packets: any more and you don't see any bandwidth improvement, but if you are doing a full rate transfer, you will see significantly higher latency. This is why, eg, if you run BitTorrent your websurfing may seem slow while BitTorrent is active, even though BitTorrent's TCP flows will happily share the network with your web surfing.
This is a very VERY common problem, and part of Netalyzr is to try to understand just how common a problem it is. Unfortunatly, there is no easy solution. |

I have uploaded an edited PDF file with the results. Take a look and try to help with an answer, instead of a bullshit complaint. |
