Off topic computer question

[DanR]

The last time I had problems, somebody from here figured it out for me. So, here I am again! It seems I can't turn my firewall on. No matter what scan or fix I try, I can't get it to work. It's McAfee AntiVirus Plus if that matters. It comes with RoadRunner. I've never had this happen before. My wife doesn't want me posting this, but I trust you guys, so I am anyway! Any clue as to what I can do before I just take the computer in?

Thanks guys. I'll give it a shot. Oh, and it's a pc, not apple.

Not sure on McAffee, but Norton take over your firewall and uses it own.
Make sure your Windows Defender is turned on and updated.

I second what Gregg has already said. Another option that I use is Avast (avast.com). It's also a free anti-virus program that I've never had a problem with.

Another great program is C-Cleaner from piriforms.com. It'll glean all the junk out of your system and clean up any registry errors as well.

I have the free AVG and use fireFox. I just don't get problems.
