Re: Live one care vs. windows firewall

I have had the samee problem using, Windows Vista Home Premium 32bitand, I

have yet to observe the reason why a fire wall should be turned off or To

Turn a Firewall setting off.

I had my hard drive formatted because I didd not understand this business

with UAC and that in itself caused many problems. Being a novice although

I've used computers for eons, things are getting very technical,. Guess I

need to go back to school.

Another problem I have had which caused me to have my HD Formatted is that,

there were 3 instances of Live OneCare installed on the computer without my

understanding my system is set up for a "work group / or home office. Didn't

realize until too late why and . I'm still trying to understand UAC because I

woul prefer to work as a User for specfics and as an Administrator for

serious computing. And have a guess account for family that may come over and

want to use the system.

Just some additional input. I'll keep reading the post's.
