Firewall settings

[ian newbold]

Hi,

I am running a HP Notebook PIII, i have installed the
Microsoft AntiSpyware software, however I don't have the
ability to turn on the Firewall capabilities, this
section is "greyed out" and is currently set to "OFF" -
(Not recommneded) any thoughts on how to turn the bugger
on?

CHEERS
