I have just resotored an friends computer for her. Her kids had it full of
trojans, spyware etc. I had to reinstall or correct everything manually
without a system restore. Ater checking around I noticed she no longer has a
Windows FIREWALL! How do I get that back and turned on so the monsters don't
crash her system again?

Will if you looking for a good blocker avoid Windows firewall and try
another one like Zonealarm or Comdo or kerio firewalls.
