I have a new Dell that is WIN7. I was able to get on Internet last night; however, this morning, I keep getting a pop up from Browsersafeguard.com that "socket connection to browsersafeguard.com failed. A firewall may be blocking Browsersafeguard.com traffic". Since there is so much bloat ware on a new machine, what is this about? I did go to the firewall window and add my Firefox and IE to the Firewall exceptions. But, I still get this message. BTW, there were 80 updates when I shut the machine down last night. I wonder if that caused this problem. Also, I found the Browsersafeguard from the software list and threw it in the trash and emptied. So why is it still preventing browsers from opening. HELP! Thank you!!
Thanks for your responses, I went to add/remove and did remove it. I had tried to through in the trash but needed to go further. After that, I got the machine to recognize Mozilla, IE ( I HATE) and Chrome. This forum is great, Thanks!!!
There is a program that is great for taking a new computer and removing all the junk, crap, blotware from it. It's highly recommended by computer digital goddess "Kim Komando".
It's called "www.pcdecrapifier.com" and it's free.
Yes, I have heard her on the radio. I will look into that. Thanks
