    Windows Firewall Troubleshoot.

    True... alot of security suites have the option in the setup to auto turn-off Windows firewall.

    Also, try resetting Winsock and tcp\ip. This has cured the problem for some people.
    You don't mention the windows version, but these might help:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and How to determine and to recover from Winsock2 corruption in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, and in Windows Vista.
    Do both, then re-start and try turning it on.

    *Smile Windows Security and Windows Firewall not working :)

    Also, if that does not do it; try opening an administrative command prompt and run "sfc /scannow" (without quotes and a space between the c and /) to see if any files have been corrupted and such.

    EDIT:

    Windows Firewall is just one option.
    You could try these free ones:
    ZoneAlarm® Free Firewall
    Comodo Firewall

    Just a couple, but there are alot of others.
