I have Windows XP. I also have Norton Antivirus. I
haven't noticed the effects of this latest virus. I have
noticed a sluggish reaction to and from a particular web
site or a blank page. Anyway my question is that I
enabled Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) on Windows XP,
was this okay to do this?
Thanks for your advise.

Based on the information I read in MS Security Info., it
is recommended to enable the firewall to prevent the
virus from infecting your system. Since I'm on AOL I
don't think I have the capability of accessing my
firewall. To be on the safe side, I downloaded the XP
service pack and the patch by following information
distributed by both Norton and Microsoft. Hope this helps.
