The jfw.ini file opens in Wordpad, not HJPad.

Use Notepad. It's in your program files\freedom scientific\jaws\x.x\ folder.

   Hello,

   I wonder if this part of the jfw.ini file has anything to do with what
you're seeing? Check your settings.

   Excerpt from the jfw.ini file:

   [Options]
   ;  If FirewallCheck is set to 1, JAWS will attempt to check if a
firewall
   ;  application is running by prematurely triggering the firewall when
; JAWS starts. This setting is off by default and is ignored when JAWS
   ;  is set to run at Windows startup.
   FirewallCheck=0

     Hi,
     How would you know if this has happened, and what do you do about it
to correct the problem?
     Thanks.

       yesmost likely your virus or spyware program should catch it if you
do have some sort of trojan or virus..
       unfortunately sometimes though the malware will infiltrate your
security software.

         What should be done about that? Would running an AVG and spybot
scan take care of it?

           hi, to me that seems like some sort of spyware or trojan at
work.

             Hi listers.  Lately, whenever I turn on my computer, JAWS
announces "Your computer may be at risk. No firewall is turned on....". I
have checked the Windows Firewall settings on the Control Panel, and it is
definitely turned on.  This is the only firewall installed on my Dell
Precision 390 workstation running XP Pro SP3 and JAWS 9.  I use AVG 7.5
Network Edition anti-virus, which contains no firewall of its own, and runs
like clockwork automatically every day.  I also checked The System
Configuration Utility (msconfig), and the Services page shows that Windows
Firewall is running, contrary to the ominous-sounding warning message. Does
anyone have any idea what's going on?  It seems to me that if Windows
Firewall is turned on and running, then I should be protected, and perhaps
something is falsely triggering this message at start-up.

             Gerald
