AskWoody LoungerDo you have the 2010 version of Kaspersky Internet Security?
Kaspersky should be able to communicate its status to the Windows Security Center. Is it possible that there is a problem with the configuration of the Kaspersky firewall? Does Windows show that the Kaspersky firewall is running?
I do have 2010 installed. I’ll turn indows back on and check my settings in Kapersky (if I can figure it out!). Thanks all.

AskWoody LoungerI’m 57 and basically starting over in this ether world. I’ve never liked MS, Apple’s too stodgy and expensive, but I’m sitting here plunking on a Vista laptop. I was considering Ubuntu, but want to install behind a partition so both OS’s are available (dual boot?). Most of this geek talk has passed me by, but I get the gist that my experiment would work better with Linux Mint. So, how do I go about installing w/o disturbing Windows? And please, plain English, until I can get caught up on the “geekspeak.”

AskWoody LoungerThanks. Search for zip yielded “Compressed (zipped) Folder” and was set to “Save.” Reset to “Always Ask.” Search for arc showed nothing and comp was same as zip. I’ll give it another go, see what happens.
And thanks for the welcome.
