Need advice on settings of a Firewall.

[akshay]

After getting infected by MSBLAster, I decided to intall a firewall as well, Today when I did the virus scan again, It found two viruses, named W32 Randex.E
The AV says it cannot be deleted, so it'ss itting in quarentine.
What should I do?
The firwall I installed is OUTPOST, the free version, should I install some other fire wall? What really is teh difference between the hardware based Firewall and the one that I have.
I tried to activate the firewall in XP, it started with teh networks deal, which said that this option will let you set up networks, and configure Firewalls.
I have XP professional.
The comp is running fine, but don't know for how long.
Thanks
Akshay

I would advise installing Norton Internet Security - I have been using it since a few days and it works GOOD has been able to detect intrusions and even has a FIREWALL ... so its GREAT!

TRY IT !

It seems that you should blame yourself for Randex, not the firewall
