I am using avast anti-virus, but I do not think that is doing it since this existed before I put avast in. Every now and then, I boot my laptop up and I get a security notification that my firewall is off. I NEVER turn it off, and I cannot figure out why it keeps doing it. It seemingly does it at random. I am running Windows Vista (garbage).

Hello,
This is not good. This is a sign of spyware infection. It more than likely means that a spyware program has changed a value in your registry.
A couple months back, I had a very nasty spyware infection. It completely screwed my computer up, and I thought I was going to have to buy a new computer.
I tried a couple of free spyware removal programs, but they could never fully delete all of my spyware from my computer.
They also could not fix the errors in my registry.
It seems like you have a similar problem.
It wasn't until I found a website in google that allowed me to scan my computer for free, and then decide if I wanted to delete it or not. Of course I did, and I haven't looked back since.
The program I use is AdwareAlert, and it has kept my computer spyware free for a couple of months now, it also has an optional registry cleaner (which is probably what you need).
You can find the website below.
