Malke - Under security center, I selected "advanced" TAB and said OK to
restore defaults.. But this was in response to the fact that my firewall
is
turned off. It wil not let me click it on (which is recommended).
Although
firewall shows under security center I cannot activate. Also, my AVG
(Grisoft) antivirus does not show up under security center. When I ran
last evening I had 29 viruses, mostly adaware, I have an Adaware
Generic.NTN that
is still infected, the only one. Help! How do I get firewall reinstated?
Thankyou - Tom
You have to clean up your machine. Ad-aware alone will not do it and
probably the viruses have broken AVG, too. Go through the malware removal
steps I already gave you including scanning with Sysclean or Multi_AV and
Ewido. After your machine is really clean, you'll be able to fix the
firewall. Take that box off the Internet and any local area network
immediately! Do all the preparatory work and all the finishing work. Here
is the link again for your convenience:

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
Based on your posts, I would say that you follow my advice in the above
paragraph and take it to a reputable shop/person.
