ANTI-VIRUS
Anti-Virus software detects and cleans dangerous computer viruses from your PC before they can damage
your system or other networked computers.
When you download Rogers Online Protection, you automatically install
Anti-Virus protection. This software runs invisibly in the background
of your computer, scanning files that you download and handling any
detected viruses without interrupting your surfing. It is automatically
updated to protect against the latest threats. And you benefit from its
protection as long as you are a Rogers Hi-Speed Internet customer, with
no annual re-install required.
TIPS
• If you suspect that your computer is infected with a virus,
you can manually initiate a deep anti-virus scan
• You can also set up the Anti-Virus program to run in-depth
scans regularly or to only scan some parts of your computer
• For more information visit rogershelp.com/security
ANTI-SPYWARE
Anti-Spyware protection detects malicious or annoying software like adware and spyware on your
computers. You can then choose to remove, ignore, or quarantine any applications that are found.
The easy to use Anti-Spyware software is automatically installed with
Rogers Online Protection. It provides:
• Automatic, continuous protection to ensure your security at all times
• Regular updates to protect you from the latest threats
• The option to scan specific disks or files whenever you choose
• A list of the detected spyware and a link to more information on each
How does Anti-Spyware work?
Spyware activity can range from monitoring and tracking user
information for marketing purposes to dangerous recording of
personal information. In the worst cases, spyware can lead to
full-out theft and fraudulent use of personal information.
Anti-Spyware protection runs silently in the background to
block spyware before it enters your computer and ensures that
your surfing habits are not shared with a third party.

FIREWALL
By allowing only legitimate applications to access the Internet, a firewall helps keep hackers or other
unwanted intruders from gaining access to your computer or your files.
In addition to Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware protection, Rogers Online
Protection includes a Firewall that protects your computer. It offers:
• Instant protection - Once you have installed Rogers Online Protection,
the Firewall prevents unauthorized intrusions from the Internet.
A Firewall is an important part of your all-in-one security protection.
It acts as a guard, blocking hackers or unauthorized users from
entering your computer and stealing your files or using your
computer to send personal and confidential information. It provides
solid protection and peace of mind.
• Real-time alerts - The service will immediately alert you when
someone tries to access or hack your computer.
• Free automatic updates - You are always protected from the latest
threats without having to download additional software.
• Customization - Expert users can set up additional rules within the
software to meet your specific needs.
PARENTAL CONTROLS
Parental Controls let you place restrictions on what (and how much) your children can do online, and let
you know what your children are doing within those restrictions.
As part of Rogers Online Protection, you can set up Parental
Controls to monitor and control the activity your children perform
online. You can block access to Web sites of specific categories
as well as to individual Web sites. You can control the instant
messaging, file sharing and other applications your children can
use. Each day, Parental Controls can monitor when your child
connects to the Internet and for how long they remain connected.
This solution helps keep your family safe with:
• Fast, flexible and easy user profile settings. You can quickly create
multiple user accounts based on standard age profiles that you
can then customize. Each account can be password protected to
keep each user safe.
• Strong, effective protection that works across all types of
browsers and applications, so you don’t have to worry about
your children bypassing the controls.
• A scheduling tool to manage the time your children spend in
activities like IM and chat.
• Free automatic updates of new URLs added to the list of
blocked websites.

LOSS OF INTERNET CONNECTION - CAUSES
If you lose your Internet Connection ensure that you have not changed any of the cabling going to your
cable modem.
Cable modems are very sensitive to noise or interference and
signal loss. Many factors can contribute to noise that could cause
your modem to lose its connection to the Rogers Hi-Speed
Internet network.
• If a Rogers cable technician installed your service, they were
careful to reduce all forms of noise and signal loss when your
cable modem was first installed.
• If you installed the cable modem yourself, please refer to your
modem documentation to ensure that you have connected
it correctly.
Internet connection problems beyond your control
Power Outage – A power outage anywhere within your
neighbourhood could cause your modem to lose its connection.
Here is how to restart your modem, if you can’t connect:
1. Unplug your modem’s power cord from the power outlet.
2. If applicable, unplug your router’s power cord.
3. If an item called Self Help appears, you already have the
Self Help Software installed.
4. Wait for the lights on your modem to become solid green.
5. If applicable, plug in your router and wait for it to connect
with your modem. (Approximately two minutes.)
6. Restart your computer.
7. Open your web browser. Still can’t connect? Call us at
1 888 ROGERS1 (1 888 764-3771).
Cable Outage – If there is a temporary cable outage in your area
(there is no signal coming into your television set), your cable
modem may lose its connection.
For additional reasons you may have lost your Internet connection, and steps to take to resolve the problem, please see the next page.

LOSS OF INTERNET CONNECTION – MORE CAUSES
Additional reasons that you may have lost your connection
CAUSE OF PROBLEM
DESCRIPTION
Added a Two-Way
Splitter
If you have added a two-way splitter to the cable leading into your modem (in order to hook up your television to the
same cable), you may have introduced noise or loss of signal to the modem. Please remove the splitter and reset your
modem as described in Cable Modem Troubleshooting on page 44.
If your cable modem comes back online, the quality of your splitter is not sufficient to use the Rogers Hi-Speed Internet
service. Ask for the highest-quality coaxial cable splitter at an electronics store.
Moved your Cable
Modem
Please be aware that moving a modem is not as simple as moving a television set. The cable technician dedicated
a specific outlet for the modem. Moving the modem will take it off the dedicated outlet and potentially introduce
unacceptable signal loss to the modem. Please return the modem to its original location and reset it as described in
Cable Modem Troubleshooting on page 44.
If your cable modem comes back online, the quality of the new outlet is not sufficient to use the Rogers Hi-Speed
Internet service. Please contact us through one of the options listed on page 52 and our representatives will help you
resolve this situation.
Changed/Extended
Original Cable
If you have changed or extended the original cable leading into your cable modem, you may have introduced noise
or signal loss. The coaxial cable you used to extend your cable may be the wrong type or may not be as high-quality
as those installed by a cable technician. Please remove the changed or extended cable and replace it with the original
coaxial cable. Then reset your modem as described in Cable Modem Troubleshooting on page 44.
If your modem comes back online, the quality of your new cabling and/or extender is not sufficient to use the
Rogers Hi-Speed Internet service. Ask for the highest-quality coaxial cable/extender at an electronics store.
Added an Amplifier
If you have installed an amplifier in order to boost your cable signal, you may have introduced noise to your modem.
Rogers recommends against using your own amplifier, as it can create a significant amount of noise, causing your
modem to lose its connection to your Rogers Hi-Speed Internet service. Please remove the amplifier and reset your
modem as described in Cable Modem Troubleshooting on page 44.

MODEM TROUBLESHOOTING
How to troubleshoot your modem if it isn’t connecting to the Internet.
Problem 1: No illuminated lights on modem
If no lights are illuminated, ensure that the power cable is securely
connected to the modem and to an electrical outlet.
Problem 2: Online indicator light is not solid and green
(light is off or is flashing)
If the online indicator light for your modem is off or is flashing,
your modem is not correctly connected to the Rogers Hi-Speed
Internet network.
NOTE: The online indicator light is typically called the Cable,
Online, or Bloc Sync light, depending on your modem. Refer
to the table on page 43 to find the correct name of the online
indicator light for your modem.
To reconnect your modem:
A. Ensure that the coaxial cable (TV cable) is securely connected
to your cable modem and to the outlet in your wall.
B. If the online indicator light is still not solid and green, disconnect
the power cable from the power outlet.
Problem 3: Link/computer light is not solid
(light is off or is flashing)
Some of the modems illustrated in the table on page 43 have
a Link light. This light indicates whether your computer is correctly
connected to the modem.
If this light is not solid (it is off or is flashing), here’s how to fix it:
A. If you have connected the modem to your computer through
a USB cable, ensure that the USB cable is securely connected
to both the jack on the back of the modem and the jack on
the back of your computer.
B. If you have connected the modem to your computer through
a network card or network port on your computer, ensure that
the network adapter connector cable is securely connected to
the network port at the back of your computer AND to the
Ethernet port at the back of the modem.
NOTE: Never use both a USB cable and a network adapter
connector cable to connect your computer to the modem.
Choose just one cable!
• DO NOT UNPLUG the power cable from the back of the
modem, as this may damage the modem!
C. Wait 30 seconds and plug the power supply back in.
• The lights on the front of the modem will begin to flash until
the modem is functioning correctly. Verify this by referring
to the table on page 43.
NOTE: It may take up to 10 minutes before the modem goes online,
so please be patient. If the online indicator light does not become
solid and green after 10 minutes, please refer to Loss of Internet
Connection - Causes on page 41 for additional information.

SPAM-RELATED QUESTIONS
What is SPAM?
SPAM is essentially electronic junk mail or unsolicited email asking
you to buy a product or visit a Web site. The majority of SPAM is
not dangerous; however, it is sometimes offensive, often annoying
and always unwanted.
What should I do if I receive SPAM?
You can reduce the amount of SPAM in your inbox by using Rogers
Yahoo! Mail to access your email. Rogers Yahoo! Mail offers
multiple ways of reducing SPAM. For more information,
visit rogershelp.com/mail
Can I use Rogers Yahoo! SPAMGuard with an email program
other than Rogers Yahoo! Mail?
Rogers Yahoo! SPAMGuard works best within Rogers Yahoo! Mail,
as it learns what you consider to be SPAM and what you consider
to be legitimate messages. However, it can be used with an email
program such as Microsoft Outlook Express. It is a little more
involved to use Rogers Yahoo! SPAMGuard within email programs.
Visit rogershelp.com/mail for more information.
