Firewall disabled after downloading Microsoft's anti-spyware

[sue]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

I downloaded the anti-spyware and my firewall became disabled. I spent 2
hours with Microsoft's help desk and they couldn't help me get the firewall
enabled. I uninstalled the spyware hoping the firewall would enable BUT, it
won't. I can't enable it through the control panel. Any suggestions?
