Have I been hacked?

[senzo]

Internet Explorer vanished like a fart in the wind. All of a sudden.

Sharing prefs says that I cannot configure my firewall because there's another firewall software running. But I don't have one!?!?!?


Have I been hacked or what is happening?

 

[bobw]

firewall selection was turned off and displayed a message "other firewall software is running on your computer"

SOLUTION:

Type the following command:

sudo ipfw flush
