windows firewall getting disabled after restart

[Guest persres@googlemail.com]

Hello all,

I have windows XP. I have noticed that the windows firewall

gets disabled everytime the machine is restarted. I turn on firewall.

The next time I restart, again the firewall has been turned off.

Is there some setting or a virus? Please help.

Thanks

Re: windows firewall getting disabled after restart

 

Do you have a Security software suite that includes a Firewall ? Most

if not all disable the Windows Firewall to use it's own. If the service is

stopping or timing out you'll likely find a Event Log entry in the System

Event log. Windows Firewall has dependency services so it may be a

issue with other related services.

 

System Event Log:

Click Start, Run (type) EventVwr.msc [Enter]

Expand the System Log in the Left pane and check the Right Pane for

red icons that denote errors.
