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?

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.
