I'm really BAD on the laptop and maybe a little paranoid about internet
security. I accidently deleted my firewall as I thought it was a game!!!!
My son somehow got the application back on the laptop, but now its
disappeared again (must stop hitting random buttons)!!!!
Can anyone advise me how to get it back????
I have a Windows XP laptop

Since we don't know what you did or what firewall you are/were running,
it's not possible to give you specific advice. How did you delete the
firewall? Did you actually go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall a
third-party firewall? Or did you just delete an icon off the desktop?
Post back with some more information and we'll be able to help you.

A better idea would be to have a knowledgeable friend come over and walk
you through some basic computer steps or hire a local professional to
work with you for a while until you feel more confident. I am not
saying this to hurt your feelings; if you know more you will be happier
and more productive. The Dummies series of books is good in spite of
the unfortunate title.
