Windows Security Centre - Firewall
Every time I turn my laptop on I am told by windows security centre that my firewall is turned off. Each time I turn it on again, without difficulty, but it is a bit of a pain. It's only happened in the last few days. Any ideas? I do also have ZoneAlarm firewall - do I perhaps not need to worry?

Open the Windows Security Centre and see what Windows say you have installed and working.
Once you turn on ZoneAlarm it turns off the Windows firewall and stays turned on.
Some malware / spyware programs try to turn off your security so run spyware checks to see if you have an nasty spyware on your PC.
Malwarebytes is one tool (there are others)
