    When I go to system configuration utility...start up.. there is a
    PCCPFW.exe there but I can't find it in my windows to remove it.
    It seems to stop me from downloading anything.

    Hi lors48
    Welcome to the boards.
    As far as I know, PCCpfw.exe is a part of pc cillin 2003/2004. Do you have that installed?

    To Uninstall the Personal Firewall of PC-cillin 2003:


    Select Start > Programs.


    Select Trend Micro Pc-cillin 2003 > Add or Remove Personal Firewall


    Restart the computer.

    *edit*

    I'm not familiar with that firewall, but any firewall is better than none. It is important these days to use a firewall if you are going to access the internet. If you do remove the one you have, I encourage you to replace it. :)

    Please, do post back if you have more questions.

    PCCPFW.exe is for the PC Cillin Firewall. Go to http://scan.sygate.com if you want to test it. I use an older version of Kerio myself, some others like Outpost.
    If you feel you may have something viral, there are links to a free online virus and trojan scan below.

    Go into Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, and see if PC Cillon shows up there.
    Do a Find for the file PCCPFW.exe, see if it shows up.

    If there is a check next to that entry, and you don't get an error when windows loads, you most likely have the firewall installed, and it's working. If it's unchecked and you still don't find any other references to the program, ie; add/remove, a folder or file, it's probably a leftover entry from an uninstalled program, and something else may be interfering with your downloads.
    New to you? Having Windows 98, it must be. This entry came from an installed program, and wouldn't be on a new computer or even new installation of the operating system.

    Thank You all for your help...I couldn't find the program but I found
    the cd for the motherboard and PC-Cillin was there so I installed the program, it seems to be working better now.
