    Windows Firewall???
    « on: December 10, 2009, 07:28:17 PM »
     Everytime I turn on my computer Windows Firewall says it is turned off.  I have tried to reset the settings to what windows has it on and it still won't stay on.  What is the solution to this? Thanks.

    Malware has the nasty habit of turning off the firewall and protective programs. Won't don't you go to this link and follow the directions and post the necessary logs. We will analyze them and tell you if your computer is clean or not.

      That is a good suggestion and thank you for it.  Are there any other options for a solution?

      The first thing we need to determine whether or not the problem is causes by an infection. If it is not, then we can look for other solutions.
