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

    Thank you. 

    I am really hesitant when it comes to setting a default policy - will this only distribute the policy to machines where the SCF has appeared? I need to be able to find a way to get on to these machines and remove the SCF module. Would it be worth creating a brand new policy and applying it to the affected groups and then remove it from add/remove programs rather than setting a default policy? 

    The firewall option isn't ticked but the remove third party AV is. 

    If installing manually we would run setup from the \sophosupdate\CIDs directory, we wouldn't use command line or switches in this case.
