Windows Firewall problem Whenever I restart my computer, my Windows Firewall automatically turns itself off. I go into the security options, re-enable it; and then next restart....it's off again.

You can go into folder properties and make the folder hidden. Unless the user knows how to changer your folder options to view hidden folders, they will never know it is there.

Change your settings in your Security Center.

Disable the Security Center from monitoring Windows firefall and you shouldn't get a message.

SP2 Download and V5 download SP2 from the link at http://www.student.tue.nl/p/j.c.l.ooms/Windows.XP.SP2.Final-WinBeta/Windows.XP.SP2.Final-WinBeta.zip. It installed just fine (on top of my RC with a build of 2149). I now show "Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600)" On a...

to FalseIdeasofLove I had this problem. I went into the device manager, disabled all my drives but my c drive, as well as all my CD-Rom drives (including virtual drives), as well as the Secondary IDE channel. Don't know why it worked, but it did.

SpywareBlaster doesn't remove the spyware, it only protects, and it is also built to be fully compatible with Mozilla Firefox.

I use those two as well. I also use spyware blaster, it helps block spyware from installing. I just recently (last two months) began using adaware, it has only caught one thing. In the previous year and a half that I have used both Spybot (with the immunization feature) and SpywareBlaster...

Problem with Firefox 0.9.3 I downloaded and installed the newest update to firefox and lost all of my bookmarks, cookies, and other settings. This really stinks! :mad:

I ordered my mom an HP laptop about a year ago, and it came with 4 recovery CD's as well as a regular XP Home disk, plus a half dozen other disks for misc. programs. It had an OEM sticker on it with the key.

Did you install SP2? It upgrades you OS, and automatically has you begin using V.5. If you haven't installed SP2, then they must be rolling out the new Windows update, if they are, that means they are also rolling out SP2 (or at least the RC2). Exactly what kind of problems are you having...

I haven't found any problems. I get the new windows firewall popping up now and then after I install or run a program it hasn't seen, and it says it blocked it and asks me if I would like to continue blocking it. Other than that, I haven't experienced any problems yet (other than getting it...

Well, I'm a recent firefox convert, and am still trying things out. I have been slowly ditching some of them as I find what ones are either (a) never used or (b) useless for me. Also, many of the extensions I have should be or will be part of the browser itself in future versions. Seriously...

Problem adding sites to unblock popups I installed the extensions listed below, and now I am unable to add a site to the unblock popup list in the options by manually typing it in. I can type it in another program, or in the browswer, copy it, and paste it, but unable to type it. Any ideas...
