First, what OS are you using? And do you have any anti-virus program? Many anti-virus programs now have firewalls buiilt into them. |

I have Windows XP, but I uninstalled that Anti-virus thing >.> It was rather annoying me and that was not a good day. I had another firewall but for some reason my system locked it so I just uninstalled that aswell. But now, I think it is time for a new one. :]

AFAIK the anti-virus of Windows XP can't be uninstalled. What service pack is your XP? |

Ah, so it' is the Media Center edition. Okay, I'm not too familiar with that one, but you can check if it has a firewall by going to Start>Control Panel>Network and Internet Connections>Windows Firewall, Or, a bit easier is to look for the My Network Places icon on your desktop, right click it, go to Properties, then on the left side, under the heading Network Tasks, find Change Windows Firewall Settings.

Apart from WINDOWS FIREWALL, I also use the SHIELD FIREWALL!
It's pretty good!  |

McAfee Personal Firewall is easy to use plus it is far dependable than that of windows.

Yeah I use to use McAfee, then I had to reboot my computer and I lost everything. And now I don't know how to get McAfee again. :[ And I'll check out Shield Firewall. ^^

THANKS! I got Zone Alarm and McAfee before I saw those though... but it's only trials.
 If you are still around... are those trials? Ah well I'll still try them when the trial up. :] |
