Yeah it was just telling you that you needed to Enable a Firewall because your PC is vulnerable etc etc. Its just some gay Windows crap.

Wow you just raised a really old topic. I thought it was new and I was wondering who was using my name to help someone because I don't remember telling him all that stuff.
