Firewall keep switching off

curlywurly_2

For a month or so my windows firewall keep switching off every time I shut down or the laptop goes to sleep. I have no other firewall on the laptop and as far as I am aware I have not downloaded anything lately that could interfere with it.

I use vista home edition.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Not sure but lets rule out malware etc. then see what's running on your computer which may interfere. Instructions below written by alienRIK:

Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ma..._anti_malware/
Open malwarebytes and goto UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated goto SCANNER and click PERFORM FULL SCAN then click SCAN
Remove everything thats found (needs to be ticked)
Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds


reboot

Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/2894/
Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)
