    I just got all the spyware and other garbage cleaned out of my system but when I click on windows firewall it says " due to an unidentified problem, windows cannot display windows firewall settings ".I have defender pro installed as my firewall now. What could I do to fix it or should I not bother? OS is XP SP2

    cannot import

    When I try to merge the registry it says cannot import, there may be a disk or file system error. I like Defender Pro (which is what I'm going to use)but I just want to fix windows firewall.

    Two thoughts ....

    Your download may be corrupted and/or you may need to turn off Defender Pro before trying to merge.

    fireaxe--Until you told us about the .reg Merge problem I would have said the following
    ZoneAlarm's firewall does the same thing. Maybe Defender Pro does, too. So there may not be anything to fix if you keep using Defender Pro.

    I know you should have only one firewall ,so I'll keep DEFENDER PRO, really had no problems with it so far.Never hurts to ask. Thank You.
