NVidia Firewall - Why would IAM switch off?

After an application accessed the web I noticed that my NVidia Firewall
Intelligent Application Manager was disabled. The profile was still set to
Custom 1. The IAM was not disabled by myself and I am the only user of the
computer.

I have Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6 running

Can anyone advise me how this might have happened?

regards,

Beemer

It can be malware has compomised the machine, it was undetected and it
kocked it out.

I cannot find any other web reference to this incident so I'm hoping that it
will not reoccur.
