Hello ! Your firewall is being disabled because you are still infected by
malicious software (malware) . You need to clean it :)
Since you use the word "spyware warning" I guess there is something
Smithfraud into your computer .
The first thing that David usually recommends would be the first I will , so
goto Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs and remove all the versions of Java
RE you might have installed , After that manually delete the folder "Java" in
C:\Program files
Perform the instructions here

the malware . If you have problems with your Windows firewall after that ,
