Somebody changed it so when I re-boot, it switches from on to off. They wanted to gain remote access to my computer (it's a long story). I know how to turn it on from the Control Panel...but it won't stay on. He put something on my computer that switched default from on to off. Please help.
I'm running Windows XP Home EditionHow do I change my Windows Firewall default setting back to on (for boot up)?Start
Settings
Control panel
Administrative tools
services
Scroll down to Windows firewall
If it says manual or disabled, double click it then click and change the window to automatic
If that don't help. go back, highlight Windows again, click stop, then click restart...Make sure it is still in automatic
