    Big big big big no no to whoever got the Nvidia Firewall onto your PC.

    It is known to cause a whole lot of trouble for many people with only a minority of people actually having success with it.

    Anyways you should try this:
    1. Search your system for NAMSetup.exe (installation CD, too) and run it, unchecking all the buttons (unchecking = remove).
    2. Move the NetworkAccessManager folder to an alternate location so the system won't find it.
    3. Run a Registry cleaner to get rid of the rest of the traces.

    You can. When you install the drivers, you are given the option to install "MediaShield". UNCHECK this, Mediashield is ungodly terrible! Reinstall if you have to, trust me, you do NOT want this on your system!

    Trying using this program in safe mode to wipe out the chipset drivers and then reinstall just the drivers, not the media shield/firewall/whatever else got installed on your system. Also check Add/Remove programs list for anything like "Nvidia Acess Manager" or anything similar to that.

    I get the same message with Utorrent, but I have no problems whatsoever. You'll be fine, just make sure you have Network adapter teaming and FirstPacket disabled.
