Reasons maybe: (1.) You are using the windows firewall or a hardware firewall. (2.) You are using a firewall of an unknown vendor. (3.) You are using a firewall, but for unknown reasons it is disabled (4.) You don't use any firewall at all. We recommend you to use a firewall. Download and install one or activate windows xp´s own one. In case you got questions or you want us to add the firewall you use to our database, contact us at our forum. please help me get rid of the virus.
