OK Super antispyware can you run this is safe mode please (tap F8 at system boot, go in to Safe Mode > Desktop and run Super antispyware just to see if it comes up with anything).

Do you not have just safe mode ? (see picture) try Safe Mode - Minimal to access Super antispyware (safe boot is a part of Super antispyware)

Hi, I tried safe mode, still no access to firewall.
What should I do when I am in safe mode? Thanks so much!

When your in safe mode you cant start Windows Firewall because you need services running, but you can start Super antispyware so give it a run and see if anything is found, one other thing do you have or any one else using the PC installed a 3rd party Firewall ?

Hi, I did give it a run, nothing to be found. No third party firewall.

Hi Munkie

Can you please have a look in Services just to see if Windows Firewall has been taken off auto ?

Type services.msc in Run, hit enter/or click OK scroll down to Windows Firewall highlight with one click and on the left you will see its status.

Hello, I figured out how to get the firewall back.
I went to the Microsoft fix it 50203. This is an automatic fix it.
THANK YOU ALL for all your information.
All the best in 2010.

Munkie, be sure, now that your firewall is in place, to check "Don't allow exemptions" in the Windows Firewall control box.
