SP2 security center firewall won't turn on

M

My Name

The security center firewall icon located in the system tray indicates that
the firewall is turned off. When I open the security center control panel
the upper bar that is for Firewall indicates that it is "ON". If I go to
the bottom of the security center control panel and open "windows firewall"
I see that it is checked "On (recommended)". I don't have any other
firewall program installed. Why won't the Microsoft Icon in the system tray
indicate that the firewall is enabled? It shows the red shield with a white
"x" in the center.

Thanks for any support

Just figured it out.......the icon does not represent the firewall
protection. It is for automatic update.
