XP Sp2 Firewall
My XP firewall needs to be re-activated each time I re-boot my system??
Anyone know what may be causing this and/or have a work around for it short of un-installing sp2 and re-installing? thanks, Hudson |

If so and you do not want to use their firewall portion of their application you may want to go ahead and uninstall that if possible. Try looking for that and if the answer is still "it's still shutting off" then there's a couple of other ideas such as checking the services and making sure that the firewall is set to run automatically etc. Galen -- "You know that a conjurer gets no credit when once he has explained his trick; and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I am a very ordinary individual after all."

If the instructions in the emails below didnīt work - you can be with a undetected worm. The Windows XP SP2 made available a dangerous command line - netsh firewall set - that can easily be called for CreateProcess function and put DISABLE the Firewall at the boot .... If is this, run the regedit looking for keys and msconfig-services for something wrong. alf "Galen" wrote in message ...
