Never mind Kris 😆 remember the golden rule of computing. Always back up everything 🙂 I use an imaging software ( Acronis True image ) thoroughly recommended as I have just recently had to restore my whole system a few days ago after I contracted a virus from a site where I was trying to get a key for a piece of software that I downloaded. Like an idiot I was so desperate to get the key that I totally ignored my anti virus program and went ahead with the download. Lesson learnt there that never ignore virus software. Acronis was a life saver for me.
Yeah, get rid of your third party firewalls and just use windows firewall with your firewall enabled on your router if you’ve got one. Shouldn’t have any problems with that set up.
