Hi ougabooga.

Firstly, welcome to BC, I'm sure you will enjoy your stay here.

Windows Firewall only does half a job so I would recommend that you download one of the freebies here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic3616.html.

ZoneAlarm, Sygate and Kerio are particularly recommended, BUT, only run one at a time. Running without a firewall is computer suicide so download one, go offline and install it as soon as possible.

Make sure you have one good Antivirus and plenty of AntiSpyware.

Let us know how you get on. Good luck

Cheers

I echo Rowal's excellent suggestion to avoid using the Windows firewall entirely, and download one of the serveral good (and absolutely free) firewalls the member listed. I myself use Sygate.

John
