There is no disable or enable button to trunoff the WFW?

Go to Control Panel, Fire Wall.

Look at Advanced TAB.
If you have you own network you may have just truned off the ISP connection
which still using file and share NIC.
Go to Exceptions and click off al the boxes.
Go to General and click OFF radio button.
OK

Reboot and if Security Center comes up, tell it you have your own FW and Own
AVand it will go away.

P.S. If you are going through the network connections for a particular NIC
the same would happen, and also this is not available for AOL.
So use the FW control (which is NOT the Security Center).
