Chris I would like to do that. You may recall from some time back, I asked about having removed the permissions from Windows 7 and Barry advised me that it was not a clever thing to do. How do I restore this function please as I got someone to do this for me?


Thank you.

Eleanor

Agreed. Touch wood I have not been hacked on my Windows 7 machines. Not only that; I raised my user account control so that even Windows-based programs and services require permission from me before continuing.

Hi Martin,

What's wrong with the firewall in Windows 7?  By all accounts, not
only is it good, it's accessible.

I tried the latest version of zone alarm but every time I tried to
connect to the internet jaws (vie dectalk express) Narrator via my
sound card, in fact all sound from the speaker hung. Once I
removed   zone alarm all was well again.

I really would like to install an accesible firewall, anyone out
there using one with windows 7?

Thanks
Martin

Hi,
I use the free version of Zone Alarm on both my Win7 desktop and
laptop and find it absolutely fine. I can't remember the direct link
but, if you go to the Zone Alarm site I recollect that it is fairly
easy to find it from there.
Regards,
Kevin

Hi folks

Firstly I'd like to give thanks   for those of you who responded
regarding the classic view for windows 7, I think I'll bite the
bullet and run with the default views at the moment.

I'd like to ask about whether I need to install a firewall for win7
or whether the firewall built into it is adequate, I know there were
holes in the XP firewall but have not heard anything re the one in
win7. So if I need one can anyone suggest one, a freeby would be nice
but I don't mind jpurchasing if it is going to be more secure.

Any links to sites, suggestions etc. much appreciated.

Martin
