Dajaro Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Everytime I log on to my laptop I find that Windows Firewall is turned off. I have turned it back on and tried using the recommended settings but the next time I turn on my laptop the firewall is turned off again. Anyone know why this is?OS : Windows 7 Home Premium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEMAN Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I would suspect malware (Virus,Bot,Trojan) on your system, or if you have recently installed another firewall on the computer, that software may be taking over the firewall operation.

I turned off the other firewall I had actually recently installed and Windows Firewall stays on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
