Windows Firewall trouble...

So, for some reason when I turn my computer on. I connect to AIM and Windows Live Messenger it works fine but my web browsers wouldn't work. I turned off my windows firewall which I know is bad and my browsers now work perfect. Why is it doing this? Is there a way I can make my browser and firewall work in unison? I don't want to use my computer without a firewall! Plus I don't have virus protection yuuuck!

You can try going into your "control panel" and then to "Security center". From there click on the windows firewall tab and there should be an option to allow "exceptions". See if your browser is checked as an exception in there. I'm not sure this will work, but it's worth a shot.

Do that... and also check the website for messenger... see what ports you need to unblock.

AND GET VIRUS PROTECTION :lol *if you can get a copy ... I recommend Symantec AV Corp Edition (Version 10). Do not get Endpoint yet...
