I just cleaned some viruses/worms off my computer and
prior to that I had my LAN Internet Connection Firewall
enabled and started. However, now for some reason I've
been getting the following error messages each time I try
to protect my computer via the firewall being started:

"Could Not start the Inernet Connection Firewall (ICF) /
Inernet Connection Sharing
(ICS) service on Local Computer"
"Error 1068: The Dependency service or group failed to
start"

What can I do now? When I ran the Symantec Security Risk
scan, it indicated that my computer was vulnerable and
that I should enable the firewall. That was the clue
that made my check the firewall because I've always had
my firewall enabled.

Please help.
