Firewalls are trickier to recommend. In my opinion, if a person is using a wireless router with their computer the Windows firewall if fine because the router is acting as a hardware firewall. If the system is going to be used elsewhere or with a hard wire, I always recommend either of these two…

They have a good router. That will work then. I used to use both when I had windows but times have changed
I am doing the last of all the clean up and set up and making sure all runs fine.
I will post in the end one last time that all is ok or new issues have arrived. I really cannot thank you enough for staying with me all day on this. It has been a lot of help and the speed to complete has been great. The old days could take 3 to for days, back when Tom started this!!!!
Bad news quickly has come!!!
Computer will not load! Have background and files on bottom such as start etc. but shortcuts dont load and spinning wheel will not stop spinning. asked me if I wanted to start normally or in safe mode this time too.!!!
I am pulling it up now in safe mode to see what happens.
Ok That is just too weird. I rebooted into safe mode. Ran it for a min and all looked fine so I shut it down and left it shut down for about 10 - 15 minutes. Rebooted and it seems fine now. Pehaps it had something to do with the new BIOS from toshiba??
I ask that we keep this open the three days as I am going to give it back to him and if there is a problem he can bring it back and we can continue. At this point, I can only hope we are fine. I remember now why I got all macs when I did.
Sorry I didn't log off earlier….I had to step away while people were giving me an estimate on my wood floors.
We can certainly keep this open for a few days. If anything goes crazy just come back and we can take a look.
