I,
recently, one of my friend connect on the net a laptop never use on the net. The laptop was buy to years ago, and no firewall and antivirus was installed. A lot of trojan and viruses, like sasser, going inside. I install AVG and ZONEALARM,clean it, and make all updated, include SP2 and later update to now. When i uninstalled ZONEALARM, i receive the windows security center message, " You system is not protect by a firewall" or something like that. I try to activate the windows firewall, but i cannot make it. The windows firewall screen is pale grey, and can't make any choice. Is set to "desactivate" and i don't have any choice, the check are not accessible. What is the problem ???

Thank's for your Help. Bleuvert
