It sounds like you have a virus on your computer, or a trojan horse most likely, that is shutting off the firewall so it can communicate with it's target - and send your private information accross the web. Pull your computer off the net - and do a virus check. The most secure thing to do would be to wipe the computer completely and reinstall everything from scratch.

i would recomend you run an anti-virse software and if it finds any remove it. You may want to run an anti-spyware program.
if you still can't get it wipe it out using wipe drive or you could reformat you drive. good luck
