Hello!
 I have some questions. 1. I was in Preventing Malware - Tools and Practices for Safe Computing.. When I clicked on the link for IE/Spyad, I found this: QUOTE Please Note: the original IE-SPYAD format that used .REG files to load and unload the Restricted Sites list is no longer available and will not be maintained. The same holds true for IE-SPYAD2. Both are replaced by what used to be called IE-SPYAD for ZonedOut. ZonedOut is a free utility that loads and unloads a plain text list of domains into the Restricted sites zone. You can think of ZonedOut as an improved replacement for the .BAT file utility used in the "original" IE-SPYAD. This new version of IE-SPYAD provides the same protection as the old version, but is easier to use and maintain. I figure that it's safe to go ahead and download ZonedOut, but want to check just to make sure. 2. What is a toolbar notifier? My little WinPatrol scottie doggie was barking about a google toolbar notifier. 3. I have Symantec Endpoint Protection. I think it includes a firewall. I can't find it. How do I find the firewall? I was trying to get updates for Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware and got this message: QUOTE Error: Update failed. Make sure you are connected to the Internet and your firewall is set to allow Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to access the internet. I can now update mbam.  I don't know why, though!4. When I click on to the Live Chat on WWT, I get a security warning. I've included an image. It says that the java's digital signature has an error, an expired certificate. Should I ignore the warning and just run it? 5. Are there instructions for utilizing WWT's Live Chat?  Kathy

Thank you, John!!
 QUOTE What is critical here is to know whether your AV is really turned off or not. I know that Security Center sometimes goes crazy, so only disable the alerts if you are sure Symantec is running and activated. When that warning balloon appears:
The (gold) Symantec shield doesn't have the  ban sign on it.I disabled Symantec briefly to show you how the disabled Symantec shield appears:
So I am thinking that the Symantec really is on. Do you think so, too? Kathy
