| 350943 | 2005-05-01 03:01:00 | Is there a safe way to turn my broadband off and back on again? I need to disconnect my anti-virus to install games but I don`t want to be left open on the web. |

| 350948 | 2005-05-01 08:43:00 | Hi Hilton. Have you considered trying this (http://www.broadbandlock.com/) . It is called Braodband Lock . I tried it for a while just out of curiosity - a 7 day free trial - and although it worked, I really didn't need to buy it. The trial period would cover all you need to do. :cool: | Scouse (83) | ||
