Seems some Belkin routers that have had a software upgrade now route you several times a day to a Belkin ad web page. You can opt out of this "service", but... the nerve of them!
seem to remember verisign got slated for doing something similar recently............i'll set my dotter on them that'll sort them out .................she can smear anyone with melted chocolate at fifty paces
In response to a recent Usenet group posting stating that Belkin spams its customers through its routers, Belkin Corporation apologizes for the concern this has caused and is taking action to address the issue. To allay customers’ worries, Belkin will offer a firmware upgrade that will be available via download from its website (www.belkin.com) on November 17, 2003. This upgrade will rid the redirect completely so that no additional browser windows will appear during the router’s installation process. Questions can be directed to our dedicated networking customer support line at 877-736-5771 or e-mailed to kannynmc@belkin.com.
Such a practice could be ok if Belkin gave away their routers or sold them 5 bucks, but customers paid the full price for this, they deserve a router without ads, IMO.
