    I've downloaded and installed it - it's come up as Stopzilla rather than Sunbelt. I assume this it the correct thing!

    No, it isn't. Sunbelt Firewall can be found here.


    The problem with sending people to middleman websites is that they usually have advertising links plastered everywhere, waiting for novices to click on them.

    How come you have changed from recommending Comodo Firewall to all and sundry?

    I found the latest version now conflicts with Lexmark printers for some unknown reason (nothing major, but im not recommending something I know to conflict with ANYTHING if I can help it). Worked before, but something in their latest release has failed.
    Zonealarm as im sure your aware has a multitude of conflicts
    Sunbelt I (As yet) dont know of any issues, and is a cracking free firewall

    I haven't suffered any conflicts with the latest version of Zone Alarm 7 that I am using on my laptop. What conflicts are reported with this version?

    The 'actual' Zonealarm forums are flooded with problems
    Not sure of specifics to be honest Donnie, I just recall seeing them when I went looking for a friend (And these WERE conflicts, not just wrong settings). To be fair though, there were some odd conflicting programmes id never heard of myself (Though again, im not sure as I cant recall now)

    erm

    no!

    I hate to say this, but as youve had no firewall running, its possible youve been reinfected!

    Switch windows firewall on, and rerun Malwarebytes

    Eek! Oh well, you live and learn I suppose. Please can you tell me how to switch the windows firewall on - I couldn't find it last night.

    Sorry for the delay in replying - we lost internet connection for a while last night.

    P.S. I kind of guessed I had got the wrong thing when they wanted money off me!

    Goto START (Bottom left)
    Control panel
    then depending how its set its either
    windows firewall
    OR
    Security center then windows firewall
