RandyL Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Hi Joe; Please don't disable your antivirus. You will be sorry. A firewall stops incoming and outgoing traffic which is good. But you have to allow some incoming traffic if you want to use the internet. Once you do you're vulnerable. Not to mention infected media. RandL Quote We are all members helping other members.
