Hello everyone,
as the subject line says, I would like to know how to check, and see if my
windows firewall is turned on? I know this might sound like a dumb question,
but if the firewall is turned on, how does viruses get through? I thought the
windows firewall was supposed to prevent unwanted things from getting into your
computer. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong on that one. What got
me wondering about this was my friend told me that when he was on the Internet
he lost all of his music. He says that someone wiped it off of his harddrive.
I have an external drive with all of my music on it, and my friend says that I
should unplug the external drive when I'm on the Internet. Could someone
really get into my computer, and take everything off of my external drive?
Hopefully someone out here will have an answer for me. I do run my anti-virus,
and anti-spyware on a regular bases. I have windows XP home, and I am running
jaws 6. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Take care,
Lisa
