Firewall adaware keeps shutting off

The vista firewall shuts off on its own whenever my Acer laptop is shutdown
or goes into standby. I have no other firewall installed although I did
have MacAfee at one time. I run spybot and adware all the time so I doubt
it's spyware. Does anyone know what could cause this?

Thanks,

Brian

That's normal!!!

NOTHING is on when the computer shuts down or goes into
sleep/hibernate!

If the urge ever arises, don't ask us how to fix your task scheduler
when it fails to run when you shut your computer down!

Thanks for the nice reply. Vistas firewall always started on its own until
recently. Maybe you did not understand the original post.

Maybe you weren't clear (Notice that you even screwed up the subject).

So now that it's clear to you, it was clear to most already, tell him what
the solution is.

Brian, take no notice of that IDIOT nonny!
He is some sort of wierd, sick GROUPIE that hangs around here!

Go to McAfee, and see if you can find a Removal Tool to remove vestiges of
their Firewall. The do have one.
It might help you.

Erm, well actually you can use the Task Scheduler to wake up the computer to
do tasks.

Were you born with sh*t for brains or is it the result of some terrible
disease?
