Firewall keeps disabling itself (Win XP Home Edition SP2)

[Guest]

Hi my windows firewall keeps disabling itself for some reason. I have to keep
on my toes and check it occasionally to make sure it is on. I use the free
zonealarm and McAfee antivirus. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Just a geuss but maybe zone alarm is shutting it down(not a good idea to run
two software firewalls), My Sygate firewall will do this.

Ok I'll try that and let zone alarm handle it. Thank you for your reply!

It's def. your ZoneAlarm that is doing that. My McAfee Firewall does the
same thing.
