I have to admit - I can run software programs but understanding the computer is not my forte!!
I have a dsl service and AOL (still like some of the procedures I have with that over the dsl mailbox etc) and AOL was offering it's own firewall service - so I figure - why not?
Why not: because when I went to shut down my computer - there were a couple of "odd" things that happened (I didn't document) and the next a.m. I turned the computer on (leads to the question of whether or not to keep it on always or shut if off nightly)... and it took three tries of turning on/automatically shutting itself off before I pressed F8 and got it to run a diagnostic and uninstalled the aol firewall... it seems to be working properly again. Thank goodness!
Two firewalls must have been fighting?
