It is NOT anti-virus, you need anti-virus software installed to protect you
from viruses. It is Anti-Spyware only. I would also advise that you use
Adaware SE, CWShredder and Spybot Search and Destroy........try using
Google.....and the link is here:

Hi,

Your new router may have a "built in" firewall and may need to just be given
permission for the program to be allowed through it. Check the manufatures
website for information on how to set permissions using their product.

Other "firewalls" like Zone Alarm, etc. usually require this permission also
if a router or modem has a built in firewall so it is something you need to
learn to do.

On one system with a Cable Modem the updates did not keep the permissions
intact and with each update to Zone Alarm the permission had to be reset.
This system has now had the hardware updated to the latest version and does
not have Zone Alarm on it. It works perfectly now.
