Yes, my computer came with a firewall. I will try the programs you recommmend. Other things that I have downloaded from others people are accessing. I see it in the monitor. So if it would be my firewall they wouldn't be able to acess anything or just what I have personally downloaded to share? You didn't answer the wrong thread I don't think. I asked for help and this person asked me for help instead of giving me some. But I didn't fuss at them for it because I did the same thing before I knew it was called highjacking. I'm still learning so if I make any social mistakes just let me know. thanks so much for your help. RaeRae
