Hi All, My problem is that spyware, mallware, or a virus is attempting
to turn off the Windows firewall at start up. Windows loads then the
anit-virus and MS Messenger. At this point it starts looking for
something. After a minute or so the red Windows Firewall is not running
box comes up for a couple of seconds, then the rest of the task bar
items load. I've tried msconfig and the few things that are checked are
legit. I've tried several anti-spyware and anti-virus programs. Each new
program finds 3 or more threats the others didn't find but hasn't fixed
the problem as yet. I'm currently running Comodo Internet Security.
With Comodo the red Windows Firewall box doesn't come up but the
computer still waits at that point. Is there a way to tell what is
trying to load? As I said whatever is trying to load is not showing up
in msconfig.
Thanks

Comodo Internet Security has its own firewall that would disable the
Windows standard one. This is normal as it is very "troublesome" if
you run two software firewalls.
