I have spent the last 3 years doing mostly that. After a while you get good at it. I've even written many guides for removing specific threats.

I have the trojan-ace-x infection with the red backround and all. I have scanned multiple times with the spy sweeper, quarantined and deleted this, and have still not gotten rid of this infection. I would really appreciate any help you can be. I have this same problem as above. I have the trojan-ace-x infection with the red backround and all.

I would agree that if the support is what you say it is then that would not be acceptable to me. I use the web interface with IE7 and do not notice any real slowness.

We've been using it here for over a year, over that time we've had no e-mail for an entire day at least 6 times. not a big deal for personal messages but we are a business, each time we don't get an e-mail is business lost. Their service is spotty, when you call for support you typically get a machine, and no call back, or you get a call the next day after the problem has been resolved. Lame. When the service is up using the web interface is painfully slow to the point of being almost useless. You still get spam in your "unverified" folder as well as any e-mails sent from people who do not reply to the 'Challenge e-mail" which occurs quite often, so you still end up sifting through page after page of spam trying to find that message. I am so unhappy with Spamarrest because of these reasons, I have worked with them trying to let them know their faults so they can repair them but all I get it "it works fine on this end" (regarding the slow interface) I guess slow is good... Whatever, don't believe the hype if you are looking for a Web-based e-mail solution for a business do not use Spamarrest. To bad Spamarrest has such crappy support.

I have been installing broadband for customers for many years and the DSL filters seem to be the main problem when DSL doesn't work. Earl, glad this was helpful to you.

They made references to part numbers of which numbers weren't placed on the outside packaging or on the parts themselves. Very confusing! I had to research the BellSouth FastAccess DSL Welcome Guide to find and identify all the parts to which they were referring to. Also, no mention was made to what the filters did. I guess the CD explains everything. They should give all their customers a rebate with the Geek Squad(Best Buy)and be done with it!
