I have had the XP firewall disable many times, especially
when my daughter is online. My initial response is
hackers have found a way around it. We have a dial up
modem, so if this is the case they must know we are
online somehow. My computer is up to date with all
critical updates. What causes this and is there anything
I can do to prevent it.
