Got Norton or McAfee?

I have the same issue on Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit. It says windows
firewall is disabled. Windows Security Center tells me that Windows
Firewall is 'off'.
When I go to control panel and select the 'Firewall' icon. I get the
following message in the Windows Firewall pane:

" Windows Firewall is not using the recommended settings to protect your
computer. _What_are_the_recommended_settings_?"

And to the right of this statement is a selectable text that reads:
"_Update_Settings_Now_"

When I select "_Update_Settings_Now_" I get the followingpop-up message
window which reads: "Windows Firewall was unable to make the requested
updates."

I attempted the cmd 'netsh reset firewall" with no change.

Ideas?
