Firewall keeps turning off

G

gregdubu

I am frequently getting a pop-up, at least five to ten times in a one
hour period, which says that my computer security may be at risk
because of no firewall. It tells me I can correct the problem by
clicking the balloon. I do so, reenabling my Firewall, only to have it
happen again in about ten to twenty minutes. My antivirus software is
Trend Micro Antivirus and I have Webroot Spy Sweeper. Why is my
Firewall turning itself off and what may I do to keep this from
happening.
