i just recently installed antivirus and antispyware on my computer but the package also included a firewall for free for purchasing the other systems. i talked to a friend who said i should delete the firewall as it will only prevent me from looking at alot of websites. i know the antivirus and antispyware work great as it scanned my computer and removed a bunch of trojans and spyware. but i really dont know exactly what a firewall is. i thought it was a way of protecting my computer from incoming viruses. but my friend said it will only prevent me from getting on websites i might want to look up. i didnt really want it but they included it free. its from the company called webroot if that makes any difference. should i delete it or just leave it?

One of my friends that lives in the building next to me asked me if he could piggy back off my wireless router. I download alot of stuff of the net such as movies and music, will I be more vulnerable if I let someone piggy back off my system?

The document is password protected so I am unable to open it and do file save as. I have used many things like password studio pro etc but most I have tried say that the document is encrypted with microsoft enhanced cryptographic provider. Im not sure what that is or if it comes standard with Windows XP. Can anyone help? Or advise which is a good site to go to remove passwords or replace them? Many thanks

I have a Mac, so it keeps on asking me the password whenever I try to connect to the neighbors Wi-Fi.

What's a WEP by the way?
What's the default password for these WEP thing? I tried '12345' and 'abcde', it worked but can't connect through the internet, it's like you're just connected to a computer.

Hi, my problem is that when I was younger, I used to be on several forums and now I have said or done some pretty embarrasing things on the forums I was on. I am not a hacker or anything like that but I would like to get on some of the forums and be able to get into the adminstrator's username and password then delete everything that I ever have said then leave the rest of the forum alone then sign off and never visit that forum ever again. Please help, Thank you. ~ Older and wiser now and regrets what was said on certain forums ~

I'm happy with AVG antivirus, but AVG antispyware not so sure. I run a check just before i log off ( check for spyware) and there is always something to be deleted.
I think i need a good firwall, really don't like firwalls, but atleast it will stop the spyware getting on my laptop.
I want to delete the current AVG antivirus and download AVG antivirus and firwall and keep the AVG antispyware.
Just want your opinion on that. Or can you recommend anything better?
Thanks so much!

I would imagine programs such as this would not appear on the add/delete list that can easily be viewed.

How can I tell if programs like this (or programs with the same goal) are being used on my office computer?

Thanks

I have Norton Internet Security and Firewall active and updated. When I scan I have the trojan vundo, so I run the symantec removal program to get rid of it. It tells me it's gone, but next time I run a scan, it's there again. I'm not going to any off the wall sites (Yahoo, Walmart, Bestbuy, etc) Where is this trojan coming from and how do I get rid of it once and for all????
