After spending most of last night on the phone with
Gateway asking them the same question, I have gotten no
results. Have you gotten any help? I don't feel like
spending the $30 or so to deal with the annoying pop-ups,
and I don't even trust that they will even then go away.

A quick search with Google, Microsoft's web page search or the newsgroup
search features would have shown you that not only did the person you are
responding to get their answer, you could have gotten it as well.
You need to enable either your built in firewall or install and configure a
third party firewall. (the only people I KNOW cannot do the built in
firewall are you poor AOL users. AOL, in their genius, has futzed up some
works and the built in software doesn't work with AOL, you WILL have to get
a third party application and learn to use it - sorry - it's the price you
pay for going AOL, I guess. heh)
