Bruce,

Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
Navigate to the following locations:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\StandardProfile\IcmpSettings
-and-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\DomainProfile\IcmpSettings

Delete the "IcmpSettings" key in both of the above locations (if exists)
Close Regedit.exe and restart Windows.

Follow-up with malware cleanup, just in case:
