I'm running an IBM T23 with Win2K Pro Sp4. My wireless setup consists of an Atheros MiniPCI card and Linksys 7dbi antennas mounted to the back of the screen.
I also have a Zonet cardbus phone modem installed. I have signed up for both a Netzero and a Juno free internet account.
What I'm worried about is that running the downloaded software to install these services might wreak havoc on my wireless settings. I've heard many say that the #2 internet virus is AOL (Windows itself being #1 - lol) so I would NEVER use an AOL installation disc.
I've used Netzero and Juno on another PC with no issues but like I said, I'm worried - I used WiFi 99.999% of the time but I would like the flexibility of being able to use a telephone line for internet access if I need it......
Should I back up my registry before running these programs?
What do you guys think?
