From: "Glenn Meadows" 

The Firewall/Security Center issue is giving me a Dependency error when
trying to start either service.  Have to look and see what my laptop has
for dependencies and try to sort this one out as well.  Also had no AV on
the computer, and when I first got it, the Hosts file was filled with all
the AV sites being redirected to Local Host.   Guess the AOL
"protection suite"
doesn't do very well.
