Hi Guys,

Our network uses Sonicwall SOHO3.
I have the firmware 6.4.2.0.
I want to know the latest firmware version? and its stability?
we are having problems with her network, I ran norton and it found the file
svchost.exe corrupted and the worm w32.welchia.B.worm.
This worm eats all the current connections and makes the cache full.
I hope upgrading it to a new firmware will take care of such worms.

Sid.

Anti-virus software takes care of worms, not firewalls. Clean out the
infected computer(s), and install anti-virus software.

The newest Firmware is 6.6.0.2 but it's unstable.
The last stable Version is 6.5.0.4.

6.6.0.2. is horrible. Simple things like traceroute do not even work
there. At least RSTP finally works which did not on 6.5.0.4.
