OT: More on firewalls



(New thread, rather than hijack the other firewall thread as the query
is different.)

On my laptop, I have installed ZoneAlarm and AVG free version, after
binning Norton AV and disabling the Windoze firewall (XP home, SP2).
It's all working fine, except that every time I switch on, I get the
Windoze warning that firewall and anti-virus status cannot be
determined, computer may be at risk, and so on. I've been into the
security settings and told it no warnings, but the thing pops up every
time. It's no big deal, but I would like to stop it. Any
suggestions? Ta.
You might, if you feel brave, want to have a poke in around here;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center

Setting the Firewall Dword to 1 makes a nice difference.

Well it does in mine.
