+    Sometimes, overzealous Windows virus and spyware detectors trigger on

-    Tor relays hold many connections open at once. This is more intensive 
-    use than your cable modem (or other home router) would ever get normally. 
-    So if there are any bugs or instabilities, they might show up now.

-    If your router keeps crashing, you've got two options. First, you should

-    Google or your cable/router provider, or try the Tor IRC channel.

-    Usually the firmware upgrade will fix it. If it doesn't, you will 
-    probably want to get a new (better) router.
