I bet you'd see this in any many personal FW / Antivirus, to prevent a malicious software from manipulating it via the mouse (and disable it, for example).

I'd try with ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonealarm.com/security/en-us/zonealarm-pc-security-free-firewall.htm#) for example, which I know has such protection.
