I use Mcafee Security and for some reason the firewall keeps disabling itself - i don't get a warning, just suddenly look and see the red symbol has gone black.
I just re-enable it but its really annoying...any suggestions? Its been working fine up to the past few weeks, I also have adaware and spybot if that makes a difference.

I've got no experience with McAfee but that sort of behaviour kinda suggests a virus..
Try completely disabling it, i.e shut McAfee down entirely.. and run an online virus scanner like Trend Housecall.Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication - Leonardo Da Vinci0
