Pat, If you are using SpyBot, those windows are most likly to inform you that some advertiser is trying to give you a cookie. I automatically refuse those 'offers' and have not encountered any problems as a result. I've been using SpyBot for several months now. -Pat- ----- Original Message ----- Now, I need some help since I am ignorant on how this firewall is working and getting all these strange messages about files trying to invade my computer when surfing from website to website. The dialog boxes asks me if I want to block the file, and I don't know what I am actually blocking. Does anyone know where I can go on the net to find out more?
