     "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.
