firewall always switched off
Hi everyone, I use comodo firewall and every day now for about the past week when I switch my computer on a balloon comes up saying my firewall is turned off. This always comes on automatically but now I have to do it manually and having broadband my connection is there as soon as the pc is switched on. I read somewhere that this could be a sign of a virus or something else. Can anyone help, please.
Thanks for reading and in advance for any help offered.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I've had this firewall for about 8/9 months now and this is the first time this has happened. Thanks for the help.

Hi have you reset Comodo to startup as your system starts?
I do not use Comodo but there must be a setting you can change so that it will startup as your system does.
Check msconfig.
Start>run>type
msconfig
Click on startup tab..is it listed?
