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

    Yes, definately the SCF. 

    I have "same as policy" Version 2.7.0 and Firewall Enabled = Yes in the console when looking at these machines.

    There isn't a GPO set that would install, it is all done through the sync and in rare cases it will be installed manually on the machine in question by pointing it to the CID and giving it the updating account credentials. 

    We don't use the SCF, when opening up the default Firewall Policy it just asks to go through the first installation settings. It is affecting two different groups/containers. 

    The mode is "block by default" for some reason - very annoying as we cannot remotely manage the machine to remove it. So far we have about 8 machines out of 275 with this problem.
