I wish more professional IT people knew and/or understood firewalls. I know programmers and network admins that don't know squat about them yet when I attempt to educate them they just say that...

Fantastic newsletter Ms. Mittens!! I agree with your editorial 100%! If companies would spend more time considering the implications of not properly maintaining service levels for their systems I...

If you have a Linksys router you should be able to connect to it's configuration setup by using your internet browser. You need to have the local IP address of your router in order to connect...

Try reinstalling the application and see if that works. It could be that a .dll file that Outlook Express requires has been corrupted and is not allowing the program to execute.

I am running AVG and have had no problems with it running on XP. Are you downloading it using dial-up or broadband? Either way it could be a corrupted file during download but it is more likely...

Thanks for the heads-up Und3ertak3er, I just received an e-mail with Sobig.E virus and tested my AV software with it, nailed it good.

CoolCamel,

If I remember correctly ports 137 & 138 are associated with several well known viri/worms and you should make sure that they are closed if not necessary. If you do happen to need them...

TonyBradley,

I checked the address and the owner of the DNS server must have fixed the problem because I got to the main page. It seems to me that someone attempted to hijack/redirect the IP...

Cantdoright,

If your computer is not connected to a network that is using the IPX/SPX protocol than you have no need to enable it. Why do you want to enable it is the question?

Now concerning...
