my firewall when it was removed and won't let me turn it
back on????

If you are not on XP SP2, and are willing to use a third-party utility, this
may be easier.

This has been a problem i think since this Microsoft
Antispyware was release and i just hope that Microsoft
had already fix this on the next version of Microsoft
Antispyware, as the firewall is one of the most important
security tools to protect computer.

I had the same problem. Do this to fix it:
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type the following, and then press
ENTER:
netsh Winsock reset
Follow the instructions and reboot. Then turn the
firewall back on.
