Firewall Blocks Almost Everything

My Windows Firewall keeps blocking be from recieving and sending files via
MSN Messenger 7.0. I am also having trouble uploading photos on my MSN space
and I believe it is the culprit behind this too. I can't turn it off, and
have tried methods suggested to me before my running "Services.msc", etc. It
hasn't worked

Warning! I'm only 16 and need basic technology English to understand. I'm
not too computer literate.

Create a zip file of the files you want to send through MSN Messenger. The
system, by default, blocks the sending/receiving of files that are commonly
known to be used to transmit malware, spyware, virus's etc. A zip file will
go through.

I can't answer re: photos to My Space as I don't use, and probably never
will, use it.
