Every time I start my computer the fire wall is off. I have reset default settings numerous times and it still does it. Malwarebytes and virus scans come back clean, any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.....mv

Hi,
Check to see that your current anti-virus isn't using its firewall in preference to Windows Firewall. If not, then check SERVICES to see that Windows Firewall is set to startup automatically, as shown below. Right-click on it and then choose properties to check its startup configuration.

Malwarebytes and virus scans come back clean, any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.....mv Just in case it's not clear from the previous posts security solutions that include a firewall almost always turn off the Windows Firewall to prevent problems. For instance I use Norton Internet Security, and if I turned on the Windows Firewall NIS would turn it off during the next reboot. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 x64

When you use another softwares firewall it turns off the Windows one, unless you choose to change it.
Your system sounds fine to me.
