Thanks everyone, I'm looking and reading, I use a proxy for browsing and
trying to get the Kerio program to recognize the proxy browser, it keeps
asking for access to AdSubtract? But I don't have it on my system??? I ran
the PC Flank test and it said as follows:
We have scanned your system for open ports and for ports visible to others
on the Internet. As a rule an open port means your computer is vulnerable to
attacks by crackers. They gain access to your computer and its files through
these open ports.

         Warning!
      The test found visible port(s) on your system: 139

So I used options and blocked port 139 and it will not let my Proxy Browser
access the internet, any solutions??
