firewall concern
« on: November 24, 2010, 06:52:51 PM »
i had pc tools firewall and avast AV b4 running a system recovery, when it was thru i had to get rid of norton AV again.
i can't tell if windows FW is on or what.. i'll include a new HJT  log... maybe somebody could tell me how to only have pc tools FW and not Windows too.

one item on the analyzer said 'Must be fixed! This entry was classified from our visitors as good.' if its good why must it be fixed?
thanks

Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)
Boot mode: Normal

Please see:
Support for Windows XP Service Pack 2 ends on July 13, 2010
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifean31

XP SP2 has been avilable since 8/10/2004

Internet Explorer v6.0 is very vulnerable to infection and IE8 had been available since March 19, 2009

The Sun Java j2re1.4.2_03 is VERY downlevel and VERY vulnerable to attack so yo need to do a big system update.

Run Secunia Online Software Inspector (OSI):

It will let you know what has to be updated.

Why, what errors are you getting ?

Do you have JAVA installed (not javascript), if not it won't work as it uses JAVA to handle the checking.
