Just the ones who don’t want an IRS audit, and a visit from OSHA, and a full EPA investigation, and an INS/ICE raid or two, and lose any existing government contracts, and have a bunch of kiddie porn suddenly appear on their computers.

Why do you ask?

Hmm. This reminds me of Inslaw’s “Promis” program.

Curiously, if the second half of the user agent string is reversed and the number is removed, it reads "edit by joel backdoor," suggesting it was intentionally placed there.

Sure enough.

Grrrr. I don't mind avoid D-Link for my future purchases as they have abused my trust. But who these days provides trustworthy hardware?

Who doesn't have an old link sys?

I don't have that string in my registry. I guess that means I'm ok.
