Did any of you get all your WU slots wiped out? Both my machiens did. I think some kind of malicious code is spreading via UD, or maybe just UDmon. You'll notice this if you get the registration dialog pop up, because all WU info will be nuked completely by whatever is doing this. I can't confirm yet if it's something malicious or not, but whatever it is, it's not good.

wow this sucks, sounds like I'm the only one having the problem. Can't wait for my firewall to come in... I think I really need it badly.

I can't come up with any other conclusion then that someone somehow made it on my network. Obviously he was targetting only my UD progress, since nothing else is gone. What a prick, whoever did this. See, with my new firewall, I'll be able to actually track down when someone is trying to attack, that's the thing with plain home routers, no logs at all.

Try updating the firmware on your router red. I did, and mine has logging functionality.

Well mine has logging, but it does not do anything, its very basic. No date/time, export feature, etc. But I'm setting up a big router right now, which I'm sure must have some decent logging. I got a really cheap deal on a full system so I'll use it as a smoothwall box. Just finished doing required soldering to make it as quiet as possible. I'll have to leave it on overnight in the bios to ensure the temp is still going to be ok though. The PSU fan was super loud.
