Why is the client firewall appearing when no policy is set?

emps

Hi all.

We have a problem with some machines deciding to enable/install the client firewall and stopping all traffic. 

We do not have a firewall policy set and it isn't installed when it is pushed out with the AD Sync or when installed manually.

The client AV version is 9.7.5 and it is being managed by a 4.7 Console. These are XP SP3 machines.

The default firewall policy has not been enabled/configured/set up.

How can I work out why this is happening? It doesn't always do it straight away and other computers in the same group with the same policy aren't affected. 

Help!

Thanks in advance

Paul

    Hello Paul,

    we have a problem with some machines deciding to enable/install the client firewall and stopping all traffic

    Is it really SCF which is installed on these machines when it happens?

    We do not have a firewall policy set

    There's always a firewall policy (by default it's the - forgive the pun - Default policy). The policy - regardless of the settings - does not cause SCF to get installed. Thus some other mechanism must be responsible for this. Again - it is not the policy. If it's not synchronization then a GPO could do it. You say you don't use SCF at all?
