Windows Vista Firewall

joolsveer · 2007-05-28 08:06:04

I have a two week old Acer laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium on it. I uninstalled Norton Internet Security and installed Avast and the Windows Firewall. Every time I power up the laptop I find that Windows Firewall is disabled. Any idea what might be wrong?

Norton internet security has its own firewall , you cant have two firewalls active , thats it in a nutshell , one firewall at a time !!

Click the start menu, type "services.msc" in the box at the bottom and hit enter.
Make sure the Windows Firewall service is set to automatic startup - Norton may have set it to disabled when it was installed and then never changed it back when it was removed.
