Install Windows, create connection and turn firewall ON.
Download updates, then install anti-virus or be sure to turn
the anti-virus off (leave firewall on) when doing Windows
Updates.
See if you can run "sfc /scannow"
| Yes my Firewall is turned on,
| Ive got an anti virus prgram installed on my computer
| the Problem with that is that, it wont UPDATE anything,
| IT WONT SCAN my files, it wont do anything just says it
| cant open it. Ive tried other anti virus programs but
| they dont work and they wont scan anything because of
| this problem, it used to work. The first thing when i
| install XP is install an anti virus program and do the
| updates first but right now i cant do anything with any
| anti virus programs. i dont know what to do.
| Online or progam anti virus scanners dont work for my
| computer becuase of this problem.
