This was the default setting, even though I've read the default should

Known issue with MS Antispyware Beta - "Beta" software means it isn't
finished and can cause problems. Don't run beta software on production
machines.

MS antispyware tool disables Windows Firewall (or to reset firewall):
StartRun cmd [enter]
netsh winsock reset catalog [enter]
Follow prompts and reboot.

FIREWALL DEAD, or other network issues:

"Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall
settings" error, try:
StartRun regsvr32 hnetcfg.dll [enter]
