Greetings All,
On my two computers, both running AV, MS firewall, and S& D installed, I
got something that S& D called "MSfirewall bypass', has anyone else seen
this and is it anything to worry about? If it is, what else can be done,
besides telling S & D to get rid of it?
If this is posted to the wrong NG, forgive me and tell me one to post to.
OK ... back in now. The Moderator recommends having Spybot fix the
detection -
