Firewall? If memory serves, the Windows' firewall does not block outgoing programs. I'm using Windows 7. I do have a Netgear router and I know it...
It appears to, Davezilla. :-)
I just used the Norton removal tool and installed MSE and turned on the Windows firewall. Thanks for the advice.
Sounds good. I'll check it out.
Well... maybe I've been overly cautious since I have to do a number of sensitive things online due to my circumstances. But I think I'm learning....
Cool. Look, Guys, I'm still hammering out my own ethical dilemma regarding what to block and what to allow.

I did not burn it but rather tried to replace an existing OS.
Thanks. Now that was weird. I downloaded the zip file and extracted the exe. After running it and accepting its terms, it simply rebooted my...
A few years back I installed the free internet security program offered by my ISP (F-Secure). After a year, I uninstalled it and installed a...
