Default AntiSpyware Disables Windows Firewall


After restarting the computer when my scanning is done,
my windows firewall got disabled. I got a messege
that 'ICS service cannot start'. is there any solution to
this problem without restoring the computer?

it appears that this sort of problem can happen
after the removal of certain types of spyware which
modifys the registry

here are some possible fixes

im going to try B first.

A. Fix winsock by running following:
NETSH WINSOCK RESET

B. Fix dependencies of SharedAccess service by running

REG DELETE
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess /v
DependOnService

REG ADD
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess /v
DependOnService /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "Netman"
