Why does my windows vista firewall keep turning off

This is normal. Don't panic. Perhaps there has been some notification, but I wan't around to see it. I have now turned on 'Include detailed firewall logging in the support log' but I either did not find or recognize any information that would help answer this question for myself. I've been using WLOC since July , it's good software and it detects viruses, worms and torjans easily. The firewall also is very good and it's working so smoothly. You can have both your Vista turned on.

Regarding your Windows OneCare turned off, if you fail to keep it on, try the following:. Sorry, I am not quite clear on your answer too brief. I am trying to figure out if there is something wrong in my system or if everything is functioning as it should.

NOT impressed by MS response to this issue This thread looks to be a year running feb 07 to feb 08 and right or wrong the customer is wondering what is going on!! I have this issue AND I have the goshopex virus SO something is not protecting my system. I have had this happening on a new laptop with Vista Home Premium for months. May be linked to Spybot's TeaTimer, which monitors changes in Registry. I've not personally come across this problem in person, but a m8's dad has this exact problem as have others.

I've suggested the above and more. And none of it has worked. But today I thought more about what the people have been using that are getting this problem and the majority are Laptop users. But they have one thing in common. My thought is this, because Vista all versions automatically turns itself off when the presence of another firewall is detected. This is only theorectical idea, as I haven't had the chance to try it. And as I've read that on many tech forums that the only firewall installed a Vista machine, is only Vista's own.

I share your greif. I'm also having the same issues on my daughter's computer. I purchased OneCare mainly to avoid compatability issues, but now I know even MS has a hard time producing programs to work within its own OS.

Just think what other software vendors have to go through! By the way my daughter's computer is a Vista Desktop and less than a year old. I purchased OneCare at the same time as the computer meaning I have never installed any other internet security package on this computer.

This is only a theoretical idea, as I haven't had the chance to try it. Anyone have a solution to this nonsense? It seemed to have happened right after I updated the system, nice update MS!

You can only have one firewall working on a computer at at time, just like on anti-virus program. Tuesday, February 13, AM. Thanks for the reply. This is the answer I was looking for. Tuesday, February 13, PM. Monday, February 12, PM. One other question. Your answer does not add up. I have this problem on one computer, but all three of my systems have Windows one care. Also Windows one care is the program that keeps complaining that the firewall is turned off.

So my? It only happens when I restart, I think. Wednesday, January 16, PM. I too am having the exact same symptoms. Is there a way to validate what firewall is active at any given time?
