Re: Internet Explorer keeps closing

Hi, ok thanks. Now I have another problem since downloading Spyware/Virus
etc.
When I connect to the Internet I get a security message telling me my
firewall is turned off! It sorts itself out but this has never happened
before!! Any ideas please?
Sorry to keep bothering you!! Many thanks.
