I just formatted and installed a fresh copy of XP…. downloaded some codecs and got some trojan horses, which malwarebytes got rid of. I went to check on windows firewall and got an error saying that I could not access firewall settings. I wnet to check on AVG firewall and tried to activate and it just displays an empty window. Would someone help me sort this out please.
