Does some one have any idea why my CPU's Windows Security Center keeps
resetting from off to "on" my Windows Firewall setting? I am using Black
Ice as my Firewall and have not had this problem since I started with Black
Ice about 4 years ago.
Might this be an issue caused by one of Microsoft's "updates?"
Upon each start of my CPU, the Window Security Center will show that their
Firewall has been set to on. I change the setting back to "off" but it gets
reset to "on" with each new restart.
(This seems to be interfering with my email program - giving me connect
errors 10060 and 100,78,168,68:25 for the email while the Internet
connection is working just fine [as I am streaming audio and surfing the Net
just fine during this problem]).
My Internet provider - Adelphia - helped me troubleshoot and narrow down the
cause for my email seeming to drop its connection - while a second computer
that is networked to my computer does not have any problem like this and can
receive email as usual. Adelphia said the error messages meant that a
security setting was set too high. I use Avast as my virus program (but I
have not had this problem in the 3 years of using Avast on this computer).
Thank you for any help you can provide.
