Computers & Internet - 8 October 2006

I have my own Symantec Client Firewall and AntiVirus systems and both are enabled (showed on the right bottem corner).
As I know, Windows Security Alert should recognized them and it will shows both firewall and antivirus are enabled under the window security alert system. ( it was like that before).
Today, for some unknown reason, the computer shows " windows security alert" on the right botton corner and states both firewall and anitvirus are disabled , but I also see the symbols which represent firewall and antivirus are enabled.
Then, I go to "windows security alert " to put a check mark on " I have my own firewall and antivirus progrm" , the security alert can go away.....however, when I shut down and open computer agin, the alert comes back...so are they enable? or disable?
Please tell me what to do? Thank you everyone!!

I'm both introverted and extroverted - hard to explain but something that relates to that would be perfect if any ideas.
Also I'm usually either psyched . . . or overwhelmed. Not much in-between time for me. I also have 4 cats, friends and a husband. I love cats and I love purple. I have a million .gifs of purple cats to use in it, if a name that fits that is easier. Thanks in advance for the help. I know this is a weird one. (And me, too!) Thanks again,
Kathleen

My wife spends around 16 hours a day on the internet making websites and helping other people develop theres too.

We both go to bed at the same time and I wake up around 6.30 in the morning to get the kids ready for school, but she doesnt get out of bed until about 11-12 as she claims she has had a bad nights sleep?

Could the long amount of times she is spending in front of a monitor be affecting the way she sleeps?

There's so many different options! I don't want to spend over $300.00 for a used (refurbished) laptop, but I want it to be fast & reliable. I don't know much about brands like E-machines or Aspire, and I'm more comfortable with Dells, Gateways, Sonys (How, I wish!). Should I buy on Ebay? or is it more advisable to purchase at BestBuy, or a place similar that there's more of a reliable seller.
