Windows Firewall disabled after wutomatic update

From: wilentz@xxxxxxxxx

In the last set of updates, my Windows firewall was disabled and also
the Windows Zero Configuration network management was disabled. I've
run EZ antivirus and pest patrol and the MS malicious software removal
tool but none found any trouble. I think one of the updates from the
1/30 series has nuked the winsock and I don't know why. I can get
around the WZC problem by writing the restart params for it, so I can
still conneect using my wireless, but the windows firewall will not
start. When I try to start it manually it says I don't have the
rights to start it.

All help appreciated
