How to turn windows firewall service off permanently?

When I disable the firewall service then it stays disabled. If this is different on your machine then you must have some agent that keeps re-enabling it. You now need to find this agent. Here are a few steps you need to take:

• Run services.msc and disable the service. Close services.msc, then re-open it 5 minutes later. Is the service enabled or disabled?
• Reboot the machine into Safe Mode with Shift+Restart. Is the service enabled or disabled?
