Yeah, I used to think that also. We disable the XP Internet Connection Firwall service because we have our own, a real one. On our ThinkPads, the IBM Access Connections software re-enables and starts it.
The problem wa resolved by uninstalling IBM Access Connections.

I always thought that a service that was set to disabled cannot be set to automatic and started without user intervention. Hmmm, Just maybe I could get that pesky AV software to go disabled or better yet, the task scheduler looks pretty nice...
