SP2 Firewall is always off on each bootup |
|
|
Windows XP SP2:
Each time I boot the PC the windows firewall is set to "Off".
Is it because I'm running an additional firewall?
I've done a full virus scan with the latest updates and have run spyware
removal software. |

Hi |
Yes, that is the most likely reason. If you have 3.rd party
firewall installed, you really don't need to have the Windows
Firewall enabled...

Yea - That could do it. The other firewall probably sets itself as default
when you shutdown. Also, it is NOT a good idea to run TWO software firewakks
at once. A hardware & a software one combo is ok, but running two Software
ones is NOT recommended.
Pick the one you trust most and disable the other.
Hope This Helps,
