It's possible you have a virus. Once loaded most viruses will look for and stop any service associated with Anti-Virus or Firewall software.

Most viruses will load their own services or reference themselves through programs at startup.
Example: W32.Yaha.M@mm runs as WinServices.exe or Tcpsvs32.exe.

Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and look at your running services for anything unusual. Also, check your startup config files, the \runservices\ and \run\ registry keys for anything out of the ordinary.

If you find anything suspicious, go to your favorite search engine and type the file name or service name exactly like it appears on your system. Surrounded the entry by quotes and search for it. Example: "Tcpsvs32.exe"

If you find that anything is a virus do the same exact thing at McAfee's or Symantec's web site to find a write up on how to remove it.

Hope this helps.
