I dont know if someone else is having the same problem, but if my Internet Security is on, i cant change anything on my site, neither post any message on this Forum, for example. Nothing that connects with SQL runs.

Any idea?

You have to configure your firewall properly. Please have a look at this FAQ.

Or you can try this hack.

line 137 of include/functions.php
function xoops_refcheck($docheck=1)
{
    
$ref xoops_getenv('HTTP_REFERER');
    if (
$docheck == 0) {
        return 
true;
    }
    if (
$ref == '') {
        [
d]return false;[/d]
        [
color=ff0000]return true;[/color]
    }
    if (
strpos($refXOOPS_URL) !== ) {
        return 
false;
    }
    return 
true;
}

This is a some kind of danger hack, because this function protects you from CSRF.
But, it is only a site's admin that this check is absolutely necessary, I think.

For the site where begginers's ratio is very high, this hack is a considerable choice.

If you turn this hack on, don't forget cheking that referer is sent from your browser correctly.
This check is needed for another admins but you.

Very thanks...

But my users are having some trouble with the Message posts or articles. Even when they are registering... and all this happens because the firewall. When i disable, it works... Well, in another words, the site doesn't works with the firewall.

What kind of dangerous the changing of this line offers? Is the AntiDos enough to protect?

thanks...
Paco.

AntiDoS-P protects you from some kind of injection to variables and/or DoS attack.

Sending referer protects you from CSRF attacks.

They are irrelevant each other.

As I don't know your firewall, I'm sorry that I can't advise any more to you.
