Hello there. I have exactly the same problem as rlittleson as in the Windows
Firewall won't load and this only started happening after i had installed the
Beta version of MS Spyware.

I have followed all the steps detailed in all the replies and the issue is
still there.
Are there any other things we can try.

Thanks
