firewall
I installed a firewall. It alerts me when sending and receiving info from www.
When I sign on to net, my pc alerts me that the "Client Foundation" is trying to access the net. What is the client foundation and should I allow it to access the net? Also, the subfolder is "BroadJump".

Those are part of your broadband internet service (AT&T where I am), and should be allowed to access the web.
EDIT: My apologies. When I first got AT&T broadband I called to ask what Comcast and Broadjump were, and was assured they were necessary for the connection to function. After reading the post above (a legitimate "cut" if there ever was one!) I did a bit more research and discovered neither is required, and both are marketing tools, if not spyware. I say that because AdAware evidently got rid of Comcast a long time ago. I just deleted whatever I could find named Broadjump, and all is running well. (Neither was listed under Add/Remove, so deleting was the best I could do.)

Message Edited on 04/27/02 01:33AM by vetriguy- Without apparent reason, I lost my ability to SUBMIT forms in certain security zones on some websites. It first came up on registrar sites, when I found myself unable to change any content in the management of my domains. Neither microsoft nor dell has really provided a solution for this problem thus far. I have a hunch it has to do with the windows update hotfix patches, and I wonder if I should uninstall them all. SPECIFIC SYMPTOM: When I am about to submit a form within a website [like an "asp" type script" ], I get a security alert which I am unable to get rid off. Any input is appreciated.
