They keep turning theirs on which messes up my Kerio and and and....Grrrrrr! Yes, I have XP Pro so it should be better...or so everyone says. It would be if Gates's crew would keep their snoopy noses out of MY system...the one I paid for and he has a record of that payment via my registration.

How'd he like it if, every time he crawled into bed, I made him get up, change the sheets, prove he paid for the bed, and had him do l0 jumping jacks before he could use the bed? Same difference, IMHO.

Thanks again, Marye.

Hi again,

On the XP Firewall: I turned it off as well. I mean, if you can't manage to keep gaping holes out of the operating system itself before it goes to production, why would I think your johnny-come-lately firewall was any good?

I downloaded both Kerio and a firewall called Safety.net. I installed the latter first, and was so happy with it that I never installed Kerio. It's small, effective, and doesn't XP Pro doesn't interfere with it. If you have problems with the XP Pro, I recommend you try Safety.net.
