Some legit programs and Malware will turn off the firewall.
Spybot Search and Destroy will detect the Windows Firewall being turned off. You can then have it fix the problem.
You can Download Spybot at this download site.

Go into "My Services" & check your Firewall setting. It may be that it's not switched on correctly. Alternatively, run a virus & spyware check.

You could have a virus which is switching it off for you. Get a good anti-virus (McAfee or Norton) and also install and run Adaware and Spybot Search & Destroy (these run in batch periodically rather than constantly like an AV program).

Norton and McAfee are absolutely rubbish, they are considered bloatware (will slow your computer down needlessly).
Install a better antivirus (AOL Active Virus Shield is a good one), then re-enable the firewall.

The rootkit is working!
You don't run an external hardware firewall? Linksys is good.
http://ipcop.org is best.
