My computer is not fully protected-Please Help!

Blondestuff · 03-14-2007, 02:01 PM

I am using McAfee Security Centre but my laptop doesn't seem to be fully protected. It shows that my computer and files are protected but the internet and network needs attention. It says that outbound firewall is not installed on your computer. Can anyone tell me what this exactly means and what program I can use to protect it? Also in the email settings it shows I have no spam protection so how can I protect it against spam?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks.
