Solved: Clueless: Blocked by Sonic Wall?
Forgive me if this sounds a little too newbieish: I received a new computer a couple of months ago. On two occasions now I have had access blocked to a web site by SonicWall saying that the site is blocked by such and such filter. I have installed a couple of antivirus and antispyware programs on my computer very recently, but am unsure of where SonicWall has come from. Is it part of the Vista (Home Premium) security system, did I get it as part of another package? Or, was it somehow pre-installed on my system by the manufacturer (HP)? It does not appear under programs and does not come up when I type Sonic into Start Search. What the heck is this?

TIA

P.S. Searching for Sonic Wall provides plenty of hits but no clue as to how it got on my system or how to disable it (blocked by Sonic Wall).

Could the be part of a system in the coffeeshop I am now in?
