whenever I start back up the system restore is off. I've lost all the
restore points so can't go back to an earlier date. Each time I turn it back
on it turns off when I go to system restore. could this be a virus? can't
get firewall back up as it says failed to start due to internet sharing
connectivity problem. not on network,just router for home cable

Enabling System Restore:

Right click my computer icon, properties. System Restore Tab, Clear "Turn
Off System Restore on all Drives".
