I can click to enable the firewall, then in about 30-60 seconds something disables it.

Similar behavior for Norton AV 2004, when attempting to turn on auto-protect. But with the added behavior that the program is being terminated completely after a few seconds.

All settings seem okay for automatic enabled operation at startup.

Have run AV with latest def's in safe mode and detected no virus, worm or trojans.

This is recent behavior. Unfortunately don't have a restore point to go to. Any ideas? Much appreciated
