About a week ago I had a virus, and after getting rid of it my internet connection wouldn't work, so I was directed to do a winsock fix. After my connection got fixed I made sure all my settings were the same as before it stopped. Bearshare was working fine before. I tried to start up bearshare yesterday and it wouldn't work. I updated my nodes list and cache from the links on here. (I've had to do that before). Still nothing. I tried today and my connection indicator is yellow instead of green. I got a popup saying that "MS IFC Firewall" was enabled.

"Listener is firewalled, and BearShare detects MS ICF firewall software running."

However I have never had this before and I'm not sure what it is. All of my settings are the same. Can anyone help? I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the latest windows update or something I'm missing. Never had any problem like this until recently.
