How do you access the jfw.ini file?

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 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.
