You mean "all should *look* OK again".

And if the corruption of the firewall is due to spyware or a virus,
fixing the firewall doesn't remove the actual malware, and as a result,
things are most certainly *NOT* OK. You have gotten rid of the patient's

Nuke it from orbit and reinstall. It's the only way to be sure.
