[Blindtlk] Windows Firewall

[jaber37837 at cox.net]

Unfortunately, I did go all this time without a firewall. I don't really 
know why, but while I was installing Jaws professional, a box came up saying 
that it would not work if the firewall was on and recommended turning it 
off. I was taking an awfully big risk because apparently someone hacked into 
my computer, stole my passwords for my Ebay and Paypal accounts and bought 
and sold things under my name. I had a negative $460 balance and now I owe 
at least ten people a lot of money and I didn't sell them anything. Anyway, 
this is why I decided to find out if the firewall would work and it does, so 
Windows lied to me, lol.
