Ok, I’ve been reading around, and tinkering with Avast, and tinkering with Windows Firewall, (I really havn’t found a decent 3rd party firewall that’s worked for me) and I am still getting these stupid messages from Avast.
Now I know that they’re just saying that it’s been blocked, but I want to make absolutely sure it’s not happening.
What can I do? Am I just being paranoid? Or dense?
And whenever I try to update Windows…it takes so long, and it says I’d have to wait 3 days for download to be done.
Is there any way to make sure I’m completely 100% not getting attacked by this?
Or am I just being a noobish, overprotective buthole?

What is the current version of your OS? (I think you have to right-click My Computer, but I can’t tell you for sure right now 'cos I’m in Ubuntu). What internet service do you have? Dial-up?
Every time I try to update windows, it takes forever, or it says the download wouldn’t install.
That’s if I can download that damned thing.
Yes, I tried comodo, and it didnt like a couple of my games.
And no, I don’t have a virus, i’ve scanned the pc several times. With multiple scanners, not just avast.
So, I think I just have a bad version of XP, or something got corrupted.
PC is an Everex though, and doesn’t have a windows disk. it HAD a partition that had a windows installatoin. But that dissapeared when my cousin got ahold of the pc a year ago.
So yeah, any solutions other than what i’ve said, would be a great help.
