    Firewall turned off

    Whenever I start my PC my firewall setting is turned off. I have no trouble turning it back on, but should I worry?

    Make sure the Windows Firewall Service is set to: automatic. If still no joy, look here:

      Right-click on My Computer and select Manage. Click on Services and Applications and select Services. Find a Right-click on Windows Firewall and select Properties. Click on startup type and select Automatic then, select Apply and close the window.
