Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> System tools >> System restore.

I already tried that webcrawler, and that's when I got the second message.

Some viruses these days have modules that attack the common A/V systems and can disable them.

At this point if it was me I'd work on the assumption that my machine was infected.
Scanned with Kasperky online scanner, nothing found.

The running firewall service is apparently checking the integrity of the files related to the firewall. If the system restore has reverted those files back to a previous version without properly restarting the firewall services then you will get an error such as the one you've posted.
I'm sure you are right Rob, but I can't tell you how annoying it is to get the first message keep popping up all the time, when I try to access. Getting really worried now, 'cause don't know just what I can do/try next. Someone with my chest shouldn't have these problems lol.
