Does the message come from Windows Security Center? If it does not, your
computer is infected with malware. Control Panel Security Center what does Windows Security Center say about your firewall? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Ibanezman wrote: Hi Can anyone explain to me why even though I never touch the Firewall settings, I now get a security alert shortly after startup stating my firewall is switched off , click here to rectify or words to that effect, creating real problems and driving me potty Many Thanks

When you follow these steps, exactly:
Start Control Panel Security Center 1- On the line that says Firewall, is there a green light followed by the word ON ? 2- If you do not see a green light followed by the word ON , please post the complete wording of the paragraph underneath the word Firewall. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Ibanezman wrote: Hi Leonard Thanks for your reply,the message does come from Windows Security Center ,a red shield, have problems entering the security center on startup until this is clicked and the firewall is switched back on ?
