Hi,
If the machine is properly patched, the blaster worm cannot infect you. But
I could, or anyone with the where-with-all to spend 30 minutes learning how

on? I'd like to disable the firewall so that I can download with BitTorrent
faster. I find that having the firewall disabled, my downloads are noticably
faster. The cons to that is that the auto shut down thing keeps bothering
me. Can anyone help?
