    I downloaded this, but stupidly pressed no, when my anti virus came up red and recommended me to block it.

    how do I get it to work now ? It is installed, but wont work cause it cant find an internet connection.

    I am a bit silly when it come to installing new progs :)

    Should be an option on your firewall to allow - usually left or right click on firewall icon in task bar, choose admin and advanced and then you can see your list of permitted and blocked application rules - simple delete the one you want to remove

    Also see NASA Worldwind, an open source development. It doesn't have as great a source of imagery as other providers, but I find it nicer to use, it's got a lot of development for various people, and also has some great sources for scientific data not avaliable in Google Earth
