Firewall Protection
When I click on windows security alerts its says firewall is off. It says windows detects that your computer is not currently protected by a firewall. Then it says click recommendations. Then it says turn on all windows firewall for all network connections. I click enable now and it says we're sorry the security system could not turn on windows firewall. Then it says try turning on the firewall yourself by going to control panel and clicking the firewall. Then it says do you want to start windows firewall. Then i click yes and it says it can't start it. What do i need to do so i can turn on my firewall? I don't know what to do. Thanks

Have you ran all your spyware programs and cleared temp files. Do this in safe mode and turn off system restore. Then try again.

Obviously you have windows XP so I would try this
Go to Start then Run
Type in CMD and then hit enter
A black box appears with a blinking cursor.
Type chkdsk /r
being sure there is a space between the end of chkdsk and the /
Hit enter
It will say windows cant check this volume now because it is locked. Do you want to check the disk on the next reboot. You choose Y for yes
and then hit enter> Then it says disk will be checked on next reboot. Close that window and then reboot.
It will take a little while to complete

Just for your information Jon this is what CHKDSK /R will perform.
Running a full CHKDSK (with “/F” and “/R” switches) will repair all file system data, restoring all user data that can be recovered by means of an automated process. The full CHKDSK can require several hours of downtime.

Why use a firewall that lacks amy protection at all? Use sygate or as suggested. Did you run all your spyware progys and all as I suggested above?
By the way. Have you recently updated to sp2 or anything like that or did it just quit?
