recently installed sp2
as I already have zone alarm, I turned off the windows firewall

... or at least I thought I did

then I was unable to get a program update for other (tax related) software
that I depend on
and after calling tech support for all of these vendors, I find out that
they all use ftp to download

so I went back into windows security and find that the firewall is back on

so I turn it off again - and then I have no trouble downloading a program
update
... until the next time I reboot my computer

apparently each and every time the computer is rebooted windows firewall
turns itself back on

for some reason (I have no clue as to why) each time I turn the microsoft
firewall off, the green light still shows as on in the main security
screen - wondering if this is somehow related to it auto-rejuvinating itself
when the computer gets rebooted

so, how do I get the windows firewall to stay off???????
