I have Norton Firewall 2003. Not sure what time this happened so I have no idea whether people have been snooping around my PC and planting trojans or something.
Until today, I can't seem to enable the firewall. It has disappeared from my taskbar and can't get it back. The program opens up fine but I have no choice of enabling/disabling it. The same with Intrusion Detection, Privacy Control and Ad Blocking. They're all switched off and can't get them back on.
There are 3 accounts on my computer, mine, mum and her boyfriend. My mum is the administrator. Which I wanna change, but can't. So seeing as I am not, I can't change any of the options unless I log into her account, which is a pain. But everything is fine in her user account. The firewall icon is in the taskbar and can change the settings, like Enable/Disable.
Was just confused why none of this is working in my account.
Recently had a virus too, which I will find the name of in a moment if that is important. Wasn't sure if that had anything to do with it.
Anyone know what might be the problem?
Thank you :)
So.. if you don't have a firewall, is it still possible for someone to snoop around it and plant viruses, etc? If you know?
Most magazines recomend a firewall (none that I have ever seen say don't use one) and they are used by companies and universities etc for a reason.
I'm sorry I can't help you. I just thought you should know that most people think firewalls are a good thing.
I so badly want to log back into my account but can't seeing as it's not protected..! =(
> Firewalls - get rid of them.
Why so?
> Anyone know what might be the problem?
You installed Norton Firewall 2003.
That wasn't really a joke. Firewalls - get rid of them.
:S
