Hi David,
welcome to the forum
Have you actually checked to see if the vista firewall has indeed turned off for some reason?
Plus, has a utility updated auotmatically recently? You could check their update history to see if they have updated themselves as sometimes the odd update can go a bit haywire
If however, you know that your system is being protected and are confident enough to do so, you can turn the warnings off. I run my system without the UAC and so always have the warnings turned off otherwise I' be constantly reminded about the peril I'm in...
Hi kemikal,
thanks for your reply. I have just turned off the warnings on window sec center, it's not the perfect solution but at least it will allow me work without panicking for the time being. I cant remember of any facility being installed, i did change a couple of settings on the system configuration panel to avoid skype and other applications to fire up automatically at start-up... do you think that might have caused the warning alerts to come up?
thanks again
David
