    Firewall Disabled at Startup

    I always keep my Firewall enabled but since last couple of weeks I always notice that whenever I restart the computer I see a balloon in the system tray saying “Firewall Disabled: Click on this balloon to fix the problem”. I click the same and Firewall starts again.

    But the problem is why is it getting disabled every time I shutdown the computer? How I can fix it? Many thanks.

    I guess this could be happening because before your Firewall loads completely, Security Center is loading first and you cannot do anything in this because this should be temporary. If it goes for longer days than I suspect any infection on your system. You should scan your system completely and see if you get anything malicious. Also try to download/run the MSRT manually: http://www.microsoft.com/security/ma...e/default.mspx
