Firewall set up/working?
How do I know if I have a firewall set up? Should my computer have installed internet sevice using firewall automatically?
Also, I have a pest! When online via 56k, every 5 minutes a popup shows up. It's usually sexual in nature, but the weird thing is that sometimes it says"microsoft has detected a virus, click on the website below to fix." However, the blue color of the top of the windows is kind of light blue instead of the regular blue we've seen for years. And, the website isn't Microsoft! Hope this makes sense. I remember just before this, i received a message via yahoo messenger from someone i didn't know. I thought it was a friend, but found out it wasn't. In the bottom right hand screen (where small icons are), MSN messenger icon is there, but when I try to rid it, it says I cannot remove otherwise, I will have internet connecting problems.
Ad-aware nor Norton doesn't work. Gonna try spy bot, housecall.antivirus.com, and security.symantec.com to see if i can get rid of this.
Thanks all!
