The Joshua Tree - U2 can FIX Windows Firewall

Group Policy disables Firewall

[some scumware by digital criminals is doing the rounds and turning off the Windows XP SP2 Firewall by using Group Policy.]

For your security, some settings are controlled by group policy.

_______________________________________________

Check if the Windows XP SP2 Firewall Group Policy keys are present in the

registry?

Open Regedit.exe and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\DomainProfil­e

(and)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\StandardProf­ile

In the right-pane, delete the "EnableFirewall" value.

Close Regedit.exe and restart.
