GROUP POLICY

[Guest]

I cannot turn my firewall on because it says some settings are controlled by
group policy. how that happened i have no idea but i do not know how to fix
it....when i try to look it up in the help section it says my version of
windows does not use group policy???? help

Reset the Windows Firewall Policy settings to defaults:

Then follow-up with Malware cleanup

OneCare seems to have it's own firewall, and it's disabling the
Windowsfirewall setting automatically. that means you can control your
firewall settings using the OneCare user interface.

After removing OneCare, the group policy settings are no longer in effect.
