Hi Browntoa,

Sorry about being so thick, but i know that you can only have 1 firewall and dont want to muck anything else, now its being fixed....LOL!!!
God, i should have been born blonde...LOL:D

Hi Lolly the Window's firewall only checks incoming internet traffic and it allows processes/programs - good and bad to go out on the internet and pull info/files back onto your pc.

The firewall recommended will check programs in/outbound and stop your pc becoming a zombie bot or spam engine etc...

And it is never too late to turn blonde :rolleyes:

I did know how to disable the windows firewall, but wasnt sure it was the only thing to do. I am learning slowly...hehehe...will download the other one now.
Thanks again

Hi again,
sorry to be a right pain, but i clicked on the above and it says i am being redirected to a third party site. Is that ok? Sunbelt software or something like that. Just wanted to check first.

Success!! Icon in system tray, and windows firewall switched off (can i be sire that is nor longer running by just doing that)
Also, when you click on the icon there is rather a lot of info, also that it expires in 29 days, how do you continue to use this program for free at the end please?
Should i need to check any of the firewall info in the system tray icon at all.
Or should i leave well alone and come back of i encounter further probs...LOL!!
That could be tomorrow then.;)
Thanks Guys,
Lorraine
