I use Webroot AnitVirus with SpySweeper with with all the settings "on" and
has worked well so far, I believe, , but then my Windows Firewall is not
"ON" unless I set it on every time manually after I start Windows. All the
other settings from Windows Security are already on automatically after
startup except for the Firewall, that I have to turn on manually (I have to
click the radio button on manually). I have noticed that Everything works
well after I turn the Windows Firewall On manually, so I don't see why it
should not be ON all the time for extra protection (do you all agree?).

The thing is, I don't know how to set my Vista Ultimate so my Firewall is ON
all the time by default.

After I start the computer, the red Windows security icon appears on the
lower right hand corner tray, and I have to open it and turn the Firewall
On. I wonder if there is a way so my Firewall will be ON already all the
time by default without me having to set it.

Is there a way?

Please advise.
