Adam, a novice computer user, works primarily from home as a medical professional. He just bought
a brand new Dual Core Pentium computer with over 3 GB of RAM. After about two months of
working on his new computer, he notices that it is not running nearly as fast as it used to. Adam uses
antivirus software, anti - spyware software, and keeps the computer up - to - date with Microsoft
patches. After another month of working on the computer, Adam finds that his computer is even
more noticeably slow. He also notices a window or two pop - up on his screen, but they quickly
disappear. He has seen these windows show up, even when he has not been on the Internet. Adam
notices that his computer only has about 10 GB of free space available. Since his hard drive is a 200
GB hard drive, Adam thinks this is very odd.

Adam has installed and configured his wireless network. He has enabled numerous security features
such as changing the default SSID, enabling WPA encryption, and enabling MAC filtering on his
wireless router. Adam notices that when he uses his wireless connection, the speed is sometimes 16
Mbps and sometimes it is only 8 Mbps or less. Adam connects to the management utility wireless
router and finds out that a machine with an unfamiliar name is connected through his wireless
connection. Paul checks the router's logs and notices that the unfamiliar machine has the same MAC
address as his laptop.
