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. ----- Original Message ----- From: alice dampman To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 7:39 AM Subject: Re: Firewall Warning Message What should be done about that? Would running an AVG and spybot scan take care of it? alicedh@xxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Pablo To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 4:46 PM Subject: Re: Firewall Warning Message hi, to me that seems like some sort of spyware or trojan at work. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald Levy To: JFW list Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 1:59 PM Subject: Firewall Warning Message 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.
