Hmmnn,read in another forum where a fella's firewall was disabling.Now which one?

Thanks for the info Hazelnut. :)

Once in place the worm disables the Windows firewall, and opens a backdoor to infected computers which allows hackers to gain remote access, spy on users, and potentially launch distributed denial-of-service attacks.
