Re: Remove Firewall



I tend to doubt it is the Windows Firewall if it is disabled. but to be sure
you could user services.msc and set Windows Firewall service to disable and
stop it while logged on as an administrator. You also might try booting into
Safe Mode with Networking to see if that works but you should not do that or
disable the Windows Firewall unless you have an internet router or firewall
device protecting your network as your computer can be compromised/infected
very quickly if connected to the internet without any firewall
