There should be a way that your firewall permits specific items open once you give it permission.

Can you please provide more information about that link? I don't click links that I don't know what they are about.

I was using CA security suite through Time Warner Cable,but I took it off last night and installed Windows Live One Care free trial and it seems to be working ok,my question is has anyone else used windows one live care?My daughter clicked on something the other day and antivirus 2009 came up,which ive read that that is a virus,well i got it off my computer but not sure why CA didn't catch it,so i wanted to try the windows live one care,and thinking about purchasing the real one.

Ok new question,I have a netgear wireless router and adapter,the router is in my bedroom with one pc and my computer downstairs has the adapter,now my daughter has a laptop and can connect to our network,so my question is this if she downloads a virus or something on her laptop can that cause either one of my pcs to have a virus.Thank You for any help.

it all depends on whether your computers and hers are connected. if she just uses the router to access the internet, and you don't connect to her computer through the network and she doesn't connect to yours, then you are okay. best thing to do, make sure you have good virus protection and a firewall.

Yep. You are both connecting to the same router but that won't give you a virus unless your PCs are networked.

Mictay, if you have things simple enough to be asking this question, and your daughter has not done any fancy boogie-woogie and has only connected her laptop to your wireless signal, then I am pretty sure the answer is NO, if she gets a virus, you will not get it just because of sharing your wireless connection with her.

thanks landi,jimmer & juju,i'm still a little confussed,her laptop already has wireless so she can bring up a bunch of networks around our area to use as a connection,but our house pc was one of the networks listed and I had to put in my passphrase for her to connect to ours,does that mean we are networking?? Am I making any sense here LOL???

mictay, no that means she is using your internet connection. networking means that she can access your files from your computer on her computer and vice versa.

Something strange, but only irritating. Yesterday, Firefox stopped automatically inserting my passwords into some accounts, so now when I log on to Yahoo, for example, I have to insert my email addy and password. Some other sites that logged me on automatically when I returned to them now require me to click on the "log on" button, but some are behaving normally. I think I cleared the temp folders yesterday and maybe the cache, but it seems to me that it should re-remember the Yahoo account info, for example, because I click on the box that says "stay logged in for two weeks." Any suggestions?

Sounds like the cookies were cleared automatically. Unfortunately you have to enter them all again, but only once. Check your cookie settings to see if it's all kosher. Good luck!

I thought it was the cookies, too, but it still won't remember my Yahoo ID and some others. It's weird.

If you have some favorite logon sites, you could try "adding exceptions" to the cookies area in the Firefox Preferences. Although I have found that even with exceptions, it only works sporadically.

I have been looking around the internets and trying everything and nothing is helping. It's very frustrating. I'm thinking about reinstalling Firefox.

Tish, before you reinstall, check under options, the security tab ... see if the checkbox is checked next to save passwords ... then go to the privacy tab ... check to see if you have it so that your private data is cleared every time you restart (look at the settings on the bottom of that tab)

well, after a day of trying to figure it out (and getting very angry), i finally figured it out. i had to delete the cookies.sqlite file, but in the "roaming" directory of Vista, not the "local" one! Gah! so complicated.

Maybe clear your cache? Or it may be a problem with youtube's site itself.

Clearing ones cache is my standard line. I assume you've tried a bunch of different YouTubes? Do you have a different browser you could try? Is this happening at work or at home?
