no firewall
"Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall
settings." Ok? This from going to Control Panel and trying to open "Windows Firewall." That after it told me that "no firewall is set, "click here", yada yada. So, What IS the problem and/or how do I fix it?

Hello Rick: Are you employing a antimalware product that might augment the Windows firewall with its own *and* turn off the Windows firewall in the process?
