Since when do I have a firewall?

ladyht17 · #1 (**permalink**) August 29th, 2005

I just downloaded version 4.9 today, and it says it's detecting a firewall. I went to my control panel already and it says I don't have a firewall. Is there anything I can do, does it matter at all, and could this be why my downloads are going at slow speeds? (>10kbs compared to my normal 80+ kbs)

Thanks in advance for any replies.

What OS are you running? Windows XP comes with a firewall.

OK, thanks. Yes, I'm using Windows XP. Sorry for my stupidity.
