Windows Firewall
Hi All, My problem is that spyware, mallware, or a virus is attempting to turn off the Windows firewall at start up. Windows loads then the anit-virus and MS Messenger. At this point it starts looking for something. After a minute or so the red Windows Firewall is not running box comes up for a couple of seconds, then the rest of the task bar items load. I've tried msconfig and the few things that are checked are legit. I've tried several anti-spyware and anti-virus programs. Each new program finds 3 or more threats the others didn't find but hasn't fixed the problem as yet. I'm currently running Comodo Internet Security. With Comodo the red Windows Firewall box doesn't come up but the computer still waits at that point. Is there a way to tell what is trying to load? As I said whatever is trying to load is not showing up in msconfig.
Thanks |

This is normal as it is very "troublesome" if you run two software firewalls. |
