You have windows firewall set thats the problem. Windows
firewall and AOhelL are not compatable. you need to
install a 3rd party firewall (zonealarm is a free one) and
THEN disable the windows firewall.
You can also purchase a good firewall antivirus package
(such as norton internet security).
Your windows firewall is only stoping incoming traffic. It
cant and doesnt monitor outgoing(like worms, spyware,
trojans) you have or unknowingly(yet purposefully)
download.
