On my XP (home/mediacenter edition) system, I have the Windows Firewall on
and AVG (free) installed. It worked for the longest time.
My OS is on auto-update.
AVG reports no viruses. It is up to date.
It started this summer ... sometime in July.
The only thing unusual is that I installed the auto-run fix that came out
this summer. That particular fix was downloaded for installation repeatedly
for about a month. Finally it seems to have taken.

Not at startup.
At seemingly random intervals. As if something is turning the firewall
off and then immediately back on.
When I _do_ click the balloon (I have to be quick)I find that the
firewall
is turned ON.
Is this
a) a bug?
b) a worry?
In any case how do I stop this minor annoyance?
The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed
between the time things worked and the time they didn't?
The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?
Be sure the computer is clean:
