Hi i am running winXP and I am trying to install a firewall called sygate
personal firewall on my pc as I don't think the firewall with XP does a
very good job.
I have installed it a couple of timnes but i can't open the program . A
message pops up saying there are restrictions on the pc so have to cancell.
What do I need to do?
 
Hi Christine.

It sounds like you need to be loged in as an Administrator to configure
this product.
