Yea - That could do it. The other firewall probably sets itself as default
when you shutdown. Also, it is NOT a good idea to run TWO software firewakks
at once. A hardware & a software one combo is ok, but running two Software
ones is NOT recommended.

Pick the one you trust most and disable the other.

Hope This Helps,
