Only disable your Windows Firewall if you have another firewall solution that is active and being monitored. If Norton has a firewall that is running simultaneously with your Windows firewall, then it is safe to shut one or the other off (and usually recommended to do so).

First, you need to boot into Safe mode to gain access to the master Administrator account. Restart your PC and keep tapping [F8] key until the Windows boot menu appears. Select Safe Mode and wait for it to load. When prompted, select the account marked Administrator and click to log on. This is the point where you’ll discover if it’s been password-protected or not. When prompted, click Yes to start in Safe mode. Now click Start > Control Panel and double-click User Accounts. Select Change an account. Click your account and choose Change my account type. Select Computer Administrator and click the Change Account Type button. Now change your password and make your folders private when prompted. Return to the main User Accounts screen. Click Change an account again, but this time select your stepson’s account. Change this to a Limited User account. The final step is to password-protect your Administrator account so he can’t try this trick again in future. Choose a strong password for it that only you will know. Once done, restart your PC and log on as yourself to verify you’re now back in control. http://www.pcanswers.co.uk/tips/default.asp?pagetypeid=2&articleid=43425&subsectionid=616

The most optimal solution to this issue is History Killer Pro. This is rated very high by editors and users in cnet.com (link provided below). It has the following key features.
Search function
You can find comprehensive information concerning particular website, file, etc (e.g. www.facebook.com) after total scan of the PC and securely remove the data.
Selective removal of items and sub-items
All items scanned via the program are wholly visible and can be deleted selectively (folders, subfolders, files, etc).
Exclude list
Particular items can be added to Exclude list for preservation purposes. E.g. you can add "Google" item in the list to keep Google related data as it is (Google cookies, Gmail login, password, etc).
Multi-level security
The program has 4 security level:
- Fastest - General file deletion
- Low - Overwrite (1 pass)
- Medium - Overwrite (3 passes)
- High - Overwrite (6 passes)
Schedules
The program can be set to "Clean" particular browser targets on exit. E.g. if you use Internet Explorer, History Killer Pro can be scheduled to delete all cookies, history, temporary files, autocomplete password, etc. on the browser exit.
Lifetime license
No subscriptions, no additional fees. Free of charge updates.
Multilanguage support
English, German, Russian
French, Spanish support (coming soon)
You can also try an application such as "Window washer." It's free to try and cheap to keep using. This one I use with success...not only does it delete history, cookies and cache files, but it also overwrites them preventing recovery utilities from recovering the history from your hard drive.
Is it against the law to steal a password?
no but if you use the password for purchasing or obtaining privatge information it becomes a serious crime
Firewall is a security system which acts as a barrier in protecting your system from untrusted network accessing your system. Any network that connects to your system must pass through the firewall, where it get filtered using the rules programmed in the firewall. The rules programmed in the firewall can be modified if wanted. There are three types of firewall methods.
1. Packet filtering - This mechanism contains packet filters. Packet filters scans the packets which contains data.
2.Application layer filtering- Application firewall controls the input, Output from any application or service
3.Proxy filtering- proxy filtering acts as a filters between the clients and the server system.

Monkeyman935 is an urban legend / e-mail prank. It is based of an actual very scary person however. A man by the name of John Edward Robinson, Sr met women over the internet and they set up S and M sessions. He went by the name of 'Slavemaster'. Apparently, Robinson was much more brutal than they had anticipated. Law enforcement later found the bodies of women on Robinson's property in Missouri and in Kansas. The versions of monkeyman/slavemaster have grown and been exaggerated greatly over the years. It still goes to show there are some scary people out there and you should always be careful when online.
