PC security advice please

But if I sign on without firewall, then put keiro up, is that ok, or does it give time for me to be got at?

intel

Download Sygate form the link in an earlier post... go offline not on the net at all
then uninstall Kerio then restart PC then Install Sygate then restart PC and go online
and register Sygate then try the net to see what happens dont forget to put a tick in sygate and say yes when prompted to get email and web etc etc access

God this is hard work, aol wont start up with that one either, then i got change number, im on broad band, then i got ATW pkt2.sys has recieved packet from remote machine do i want it, at this rate ill be goin back to mcafee, this is really hard for someone that doesnt know much about PCs

intel

So AOL just refuses to start altogether then with Sygate and Kerio do you have Internet Connection Sharing i.e a couple of PCs on the same network

Eli_2-2

No, just my pc

intel

Ok Ive just been on various site and had a word with an associate and both come to the same conclusion that you would be better off going back to macafee as AOL
is a complete and Utter nightmare to get running properly with other third party software, so It looks like youv'e had a bit of a wasted time here....

Sorry but I cant reccomend anything else to do except change from AOL
and thats no good to man nor beast....

Yeah already done that, but I had the full monty mcAfee on my pc that slowed it right down, it seams with just the aol/mcAfee firewall my pc is running faster, so thats good.And ive got AVG to do my virus scans, so thats cool too.
Yes it has driven me mad, BUT I dont see it that I wasted my time, ive learnt something out of it :xmassmile

And thanks alot for all your help, you have been wonderfull :beer:

Bristol eh, as in M5/M4? If so im down the M5 in cider town _party_
