(1). Hi, Shenan Stanley (MS-MVP) gave the below "Quoted" advice regarding a
pop-up problem a user was having.



How, or rather, what do you do to verify that your Firewall is
Uncompromised?



"Ensure your Windows Firewall (or third party firewall of your choice) is
ENABLED and UNCOMPROMISED."



Thanks for any help

Microsoft Malicuos spyware removal tool is just that,a tool,it doesnt
"protect"
the OS until a user runs the utility,it's not running in the background at
any
time.As far as firewall check,or security check,run MBSA utility,it'll give
results
