Need to stop windows firewall in order to download a virus program from MC AffeeI can't shut it down. Help1 person needs an answerI do too

I assume that you have tried to shut it down following the instructions in KB283673:"How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions?" < http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283673 >Some details on what happens when you try to shut it down would be helpful as well as whether you have XP Home or XP Pro.Assuming that you have XP Pro that may have been connected to a domain or otherwise subjected to Group Policies, you may have to go to the Group Policy Editor (Start -> Run -> "gpedit.msc") and verify that turning off Windows Firewall hasn't been negatively enforced there. Refer to the paths near the end of the following article:"Troubleshooting Windows Firewall settings in Windows XP Service Pack 2 for advanced users" < http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357 >HTH, JW
