There are a lot of steps to this guide I hope it works, Now furthermore I went back into the registry and changed BACK the enableFirewall DWORD to (0) to turn it off hoping that the updates would allow to interactively be able to turn the firewall on and off, no luck turned it OFF but still grayed out. hopefully this guide will fix that too.
AVAST just popped up and said that the Smitfraudfix program was a trojan horse malware???
