I have the latest Service Pack for Win XP I am runnign Norton Antivirus 2005
with its Firewall turned on. Would there be any reason why Windows Firewall
would be disabled after every reboot of the machine.

I've ran Norton antivirus scan of the machine. Nothing infected shows up.
Also, I'bve ranth e virus check and security checker via web brwoser from
the Symantec Security center. Nothing shows up.

I have no spyware issues of the machine. I have ran Spybot...many times

I have even looked ont eh web to make sure that alll the processes seen int
he Task Manager are a valid. They all are valid.

Any help is appreciated.

I have looked up solutions on the MS Knowledgebase and still nothing works.

Running two firewalls on a computer can cause problems with network
and Internet access, so Windows Firewall should be disabled when
Norton Firewall is present. Perhaps the Norton Firewall is
automatically disabling the Windows Firewall.
