hello. im a newbiew.
Picked up a rebuilt Dell Optiplex w/ windows 7 pro, retiring my old E-machine w/ XP. The machine was used commercially to audio test equipment. Overall I like the system. I run Avast Internet Security. The problem I am having is I keep getting a pop-up stating "The firewall has detected one of your networks and has automatically changed the firewall mode to: private/low risk. the networks are Verizon LLC and (Intel{R)
I lose internet connectivity when this happens and it is very annoying. Any help or thoughts are appreciated.
