Firewall Turns Off Automatically
I am the network administrator for a small network of computers. We are using Microsoft Small Business Server 2008; with all client workstations running Windows Vista. The server, and all workstations, are protected with Windows Live One Care. On one particular workstation, I am experiencing an issue where the firewall automatically turns itself off at unknown intervals (happens daily). One Care displays a message on the workstation that there is a security related problem. When you click on the balloon to open One Care to "fix" the issue, One Care indicates that the firewall has been turned off. Naturally, I take the appropriate steps and turn on the firewall; but soon enough, the message returns and the firewall is turned off. I've searched the forums here, but can't find any recent posts that have worked. Can anyone help me out on this? Thanks, Sean
