| | Remote Firewall I am unable to access many of the common websites on the internet. The cause is apparently from a remote firewall that is not from Windows. Someone in my family may have downloaded something by accident. Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot my computer to find this program and remove it? Thanks |

It's possible some changes were made to it that you are not aware of. C.B. -- It is the responsibility and duty of everyone to help the underprivileged and unfortunate among us. |
