Exactly.  And next time, don't run as local administrator, and the
virus/spyware won't be able to screw with ICF.

The first problem of course is the firewall or internet security suite
--- remove that and all should be OK again.


You mean "all should *look* OK again".


A spyware and virus have the ability to perform this same problem.


And if the corruption of the firewall is due to spyware or a virus,
fixing the firewall doesn't remove the actual malware, and as a result,
things are most certainly *NOT* OK.  You have gotten rid of the patient's
fever, but the bacteria is still present.

Nuke it from orbit and reinstall.  It's the only way to be sure.
