Windows firewall turns off by itself – it’s my only firewall
LockedThis problem happened once before and it led to my totally reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling everything. That did NOT include any other software firewall. Windows firewall is turned on, but several times a day the balloon warning me that it is turned off pops up. If I click the balloon, it shows me that it really is turned off, but then it turns back on without my doing anything. Before the reformat, this escalated to where I had to turn it back on, and eventually it would not stay on regardless of what I did. I also get an occasional error message warning me that instructions at referenced memory location cannot be accessed because a particular memory location (i.e. OX65EFDB96) can’t be read. This is my primary office computer and I need to get it happy. My operating system is WindowsXP media center edition fully updated w/ SP2. Help!
