Windows Firewall

[Guest]

Hi

I cannot turn on the firewall. In Windows Firewall under General, the pick
box (on recomended) is dead, picking on the box has no effect. Any advice
on how to get over the problem?

Hi

Try a System Restore back to a point before the problem started.

In addition to Will:

If you've installed Windows OneCare recently, then this behavior is normal.
If not, see these links below to know how to make the Windows Firewall
configurable by the user.

Run a thorough malware cleanup:
