A few years ago we discovered a ‘stowaway’ or botnet on our family computer network. It started innocently enough with either slow network rates of speed or brief intervals when our network was nonfunctional. Over the course of a 12 months the outages increased in both regularity and period, and just a little probing revealed that we weren’t actually having downtime, but instead our network was maxed out sometimes, and unavailable to us therefore. After the nagging problem became clear to us we struggled to find a solution to get back control.
I have no idea if the concept of Network Hijacking is well known, or even if that’s the correct terminology for it, but it describes our situation at that time perfectly. We started to suspect what actions we’d need to try resolve the problems entirely, but were hesitant to take them because of the right time and cost included.

We believe, in hindsight, that our problems originated from typical media usage that most teenagers engage in, and because that topic by itself is so complex, I’ve written a second zoom lens that discusses this topic in much greater detail. It’s called “The Dangers of Torrent and p2p Sites to Home Computer Networks”, and which section below that includes a click-able connect to it.
In the meantime a short description is in order. A couple of countless websites that allow visitors to stream media, or download mass media, free of charge. You’re usually necessary to join as a member, however, not always, especially with a few of the older sites. The appeal of these websites is significant, since sometimes that’s the only vehicle designed for somewhat obscure titles.
For example, when I was a teen (a long time ago) a movie arrived briefly in theaters called ‘Friends’. It was a sweet, coming old love story about 2 teenagers, and I loved it. In order my boys approached their teen years I scoured the Internet for it.
That is at the early days of the internet, but after a great deal of research, I was able to find the correct movie (tricky because of the universal title), and a source to order a VHS tape from. I recall waiting a long time for it to reach.
But eventually it arrived and I shared it with my children. In retrospect, this was not as memorable a meeting to them as it was for me personally, and I question that they keep in mind it now even! May be the Media you Download Safe? To be brief, several sites use peer-to-peer posting technology, which starts up your home network to outsiders. Anyone in your home can relatively supply the usage of your network these sites require innocently.
That gain access to allows them to completely bypass any security methods that you may have in place to protect your home network. Don’t download or stream media from any site that you have not spent time researching first. Whether they provide free media or inexpensive media is irrelevant. Sometimes the danger lies in your acceptance of their user terms.
