Re: has any 1 with a BEFSX41 tried the new firmware ?
V1.52.9B3 on DSL
I've been running it for a few days now.... Not quite long enough to say the DNS issues I had with V1.52.6 is gone, but it might be gone.
Interesting experience with Blocking by keywords and URL's..........
If I enter the name (Say doubleclick) in google, it gets blocked going out, As expected...
However, when I go to ebay, and there I expect to see inbound doubleclick entires in Wallwatcher..... but I'm not seeing them inbound... Occasionally, but not always...
Does that mean that blocking by keyword and URL is blocking INBOUND too? Not sure.....
So......
I start "Trolling for Spyware" Go to a site, and watch wallwatcher for spyware entries.... Then Run Ad-Aware to see if I was right... If I was, document the spyware name, delete it, and go back to that site and browse and confirm with another pass of Ad-Aware that that was the site that contained Spyware... Then.....
Go into Linky and enter those names in Blocking by Keyword or URL, and then back at the site to verify that they don't show in Wallwatcher.... and confirm with another pass of Ad-Aware....
It appears that once I put the name in Blocking by Keyword or URL, that I never see that name in inbound in Wallwatcher..... Does that mean that it is blocking inbound as well as outbound???
It appears so.... Not 100% effective (an occasional one sneaks in but is blocked going out)....
Other notes on Blocking by Keyword and URL:
The blocked entries are (for the most part) Not Verbose...
It will say that something matched and was blocked, but doesn't say what.... Again... Occasionally it will post verbose (indicate what was matched, but usually not).
If anyone else has been testing Blocking by Keyword or URL, I'd be interested to know if you are seeing the same or something different....
