You can take it...
I know you can !


This little update gift from Micro$haft is continuing to cause huge problems for everyone, everywhere, so a gentle bump here for now... Better than adding this as another 'sticky', hmmm ?

I agree just turn it off and If I'm correct I believe it only blocks connections one way, outward not inward.

Oddly enough all my internet programs are added as exceptions on the Windows Firewall. But, since installing it, i don't get hacked ... as much.

[COLOR=dark-blue]I have McAfee Personal Firewall, which is wonderful, no "in loco parentis" behavior. McAfee advises turning off SP2, and even has a neat little demo on how to do this.

It seems a little silly to dl & install something which doesn't play nicely with the rest of the software, then have to turn it off. So I never installed it. So far I haven't been successfully hacked. McAfee is set to "tight security", and limewire gets through, np. [/COLOR]
