    System and Security: Firewall


    Not certain of appropriate place to post this: Windows 7; I open Control Panel / System and Security / click on Windows Firewall / Check Firewall Status -- and nothing happens. MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) says everything is A-OK with my PC ... why won't Check Firewall Status open so I can verify what's on or off? Thanks. Appreciate any info/help.

    Windows Firewall Is located in "Services" ... type Services in the 'start search box', click the gear icon, then scroll down.

    You can set it to "automatic" by right clicking and choosing 'Properties"

    Another option if the others don't work.

    Start Orb and type firewall.
    You will see check firewall status. Hopefully; Tick on it.
