• Can not turn on the firewall...

  Whenever I try to turn on my firewall, I gives me an error for letting me know that Windows could not process the request. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and I think it's probably a virus.

  Your laptop has an overheating problem (something that you did not clear before that).

  So that should be your main concern.

  As soon as possible (if you haven't already), copy all your personal documents and files on an offline support (USB, flash or CD/DVD drive external HARD disk drive).

  The laptop is apparently reached the end of its useful life.

  You can get a quote on repair of the material and compare the cost of a new pc. You want to check a good local reputation to small not big-Box-store shop on quote.

  Before you know it, our assumption was that she had a malware infection and who had been my main goal. The assumption is still legitimate because you reported punches a.

  You can consider a notebook cooler (of an electronics store) to mitigate the heat problem, but that will probably be only slightly lower. The laptop hard drive may be causing the overheating.

• Security Center can't turn on Windows Firewall. Turn on manually.

  Recently, I uninstalled Trend Micro Internet Security, which had a firewall.  After the installation of Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security, which does not have a firewall, I realized that I need to enable Windows Firewall.  I get the dialog box that says Security Center cannot enable the firewall of the window and turn it on manually.  Well, I can't get it in market.  I ran many spyware controls and is not on my system.  I found that the WMI repository is consistent.  What to do next?  I ran an sfc/scan now and he said he found corrupt files.

  Try this to restart Windows Firewall...

  Start button > in the search box, type services > press > scroll down to find the Windows Firewall, click...

• I can't turn on the firewall of Windows 8.

  Hello

  I've been playing with this for weeks, I finally installed a third-party firewall, but without the firewall of Windows applications running Metro are inaccessible.
  I get no error message, the message 'access denied '.
  I tried through Services and all other means possible, but when I look at the error report as suggested when I try and turn it on all I get is.
  I run as administrator with full rights under tension.
  He did run when I got to my new computer and I don't know when or why he stopped.
  I just noticed one day that it has been disabled.
  I have run all kinds of malware and turned up nothing.
  Since Defender is not a piece of software in 8 stand-alone as it was at 7 I see no way to uninstall it and reinstall it again to reset it as it was initially.
  Anyone have an idea how I can reset it without having to perform a recovery to until I installed and implemented all my over 40 software programs.
  If I can't I'll have to continue to run Comodo and ignore Metro applications completely, and it's that actually works very well for me.
  I would like to just make it work the way it's supposed to.
  Thanks for the help.

  Hello

  I just say that I finally got this problem.
  At the suggestion of a poster on forum Windows 8, I looked at how services work had their permissions in place.
  I went to services, found a service that was running and looked at how the configured permissions and compared to the firewall.
  I then copied all these settings for the Windows Firewall settings manually, and the firewall has finally started working.
  I have no idea why the settings were different, but it was what was killing the service.
  I just had to go through each setting and change them as they were the same for both services.
  Taking a series of screenshots helped so I didn't have to keep switching back and forth between them.

• I can't turn on my firewall, error: Firewall Windows cannot change some of your settings Error code: 0 x 80070424

  My firewall is off, I went to control panel to turn it on and it comes up saying "Windows Firewall cannot change some of your settings Error code: 0 x 80070424" any ideas how to fix or what's goin'?

  Hello

  What do you use for security?

  If you are using an Internet Security Suite, it will have its own firewall and disables the default Windows Firewall.

  And you should have only one firewall to avoid problems related to the operating system.

  Malware to disable your firewall and your safety programs.

  Scan of Malware in Safe Mode with network.

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

  RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

  Then, download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

• WHY I don't turn on my firewall in the control panel

  my computer says that it is unable to detect a firewall. I tried to turn it on in the control panel of configuration, but without success.  How can I turn on the firewall on?

  Please do not keep your Windows version a secret.

  You have everything installed, as a product of Norton or McAfee "security suite"?  If so, they usually contain a firewall as well and they disable the Windows Firewall, because you cannot have two of them.  Maybe the firewall in the security suite is disabled as well.

• Cannot install updates or turn on the firewall. Need help please

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit service pack 2 and I'm unable to install the updates, this is the case since December 2011.  I received the error code 80096001. I tried to run the Fix - It, but it does nothing.  Help, please!  Also, I can't turn on the firewall.  I scanned for malware with Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, and none is found.

  Thank you, but who has not helped either, so I finally had to use Recovery Manager to wipe the drive and reinstall Vista again. So far so good.

• Cannot turn on the firewall of windows 7

  I just got a new Dell computer. For some reason, I can't turn on windows firewall 7. The option is not grayed out, but when I click on 'recommended use of parameters' nothing happens. I did a full scan with Windows Security Essentials and there is no virus.

  Hello
   
  To resolve this problem, you will need to follow these methods provided below.
   
  Method 1: Please run "services.msc", "Event controller Windows" stop first and then make sure that "Base filtering engine" service is started.
  On the Start Menu, type devmgmt.msc, and then open Device Manager. On the view tab, select "Devices by connection" and put a check next to "Show hidden devices". Search for the Windows Firewall authorization driver (there will be a gear icon gold). Double-click on that and on the driver tab, make sure that the startup type is set to "Application".
  Then start the service "Windows Firewall" and see if the problem is resolved.
   
  Method 2: The driver of the authorization (mdsdrv.sys) firewall is a system protected Windows file. You can run the tool File Checker system and if the file is found to be damaged, it will be replaced.
  Proceed with caution.
  Go to start / all programs / accessories.
  Right-click on the element "Command Prompt" and select the "Run as Administrator" option.
  Click on 'Continue' in the UAC prompt.
  In the command window, type the following command.
   SFC/SCANNOW
  Press ENTER.
   
  This will take a few minutes to complete. Try not to use the computer during execution of SFC.
  When the tool is finished, restart the computer and review the firewall options.
  Let me know the results.

• McAfee Firewall will stay not on; Cannot turn on the firewall of Windows 7; Computer keeps restarting; and I can't access a file because my computer says I don't have permission

  I use McAfee Firewall as my firewall.  Now when I try to turn it on, it continues for less than a second, then turns off.  Firewall Windows also not be.

  My computer rebooting in itself guard so I can't complete a virus scan.  In one place, he suggested I have try in Safe Mode, but it didn't work (and he told me that it did not work because I couldn't connect to the internet).  I tried "Safe Mode with networking" and he would not even let me scan.

  Another thing, the last time that I tried to scan it got stuck on "Internet C:\Windows\SysWOW64A\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary / / Desktop.ini.  This makes me think that this could be the problem, so I tried to get him to put the file in "VirusTotal.  I was able to get to him before that I got the idea to put it in "VirusTotal" but now it won't let me and he says:

  "You don't have currently not allowed to access this folder."

  "Click Conitnue to have permanent access to this folder."

  When I try to click on "Continue", it only ever through.

  I tried to change the 'Owner' under 'Security' tab but it still doesn't work, so I can't check to see if the file is a virus.

  Should I try to download a new antivirus program to scan my computer?

  Sorry if this is in the wrong category.  I have so many problems, it is not easy to categorize.

  Uninstalling McAfee completely.

  Do not use any product that claims to make your computer run better.  Almost all of them are either false, themselves, an infection, or put your computer at risk. Delete everything that claims to be there to prevent the infections or pretends to make your computer work better, except for the singular than an antivirus product.

  It is a controversial topic, but your choice of AV software may be something you want to take a 2nd look.  I suggest you visit this website to get an idea of what AV software made the best work, depending on what type of user you are: http://www.av-comparatives.org/ is a non-profit that has been around for a long time and I hope that their results.

  When you interpret these results, remember the difference between a product that detects 95% and the other 99% of infections, it is actually 5 times more likely to allow an infection.

  I pick up after about 150 Windows PCs and I have more than 13 years.  Until last September, the only AV software that I would allow my clients to use was Norton Antivirus.  Note that this is not the same as any other product, Norton 360 or Internet Security.  My clients rarely know infections.

  Last September, Symantec (Norton owner) decided to no longer sell such a product.  After much research, I decided on Bitdefender Antivirus 2015 +.  I installed it on most of these PCs to date and has never been a problem, and it has been on a course of about 11 months now...  It is a better product than Norton.  It is also cheap. One of the things I love the most about it, is the silence and discretion.  Especially if silenced you its function "portfolio".

  My customers know that if they install any product of 'Internet Security', I won't work on their computers until it is deleted.  Very well, I learned the hard way that other components of these products (other than the AV itself) IS causing more problems than any profit that they bring and work mainly by stopping the Windows component that does a very good job of this particular task still.  The problem is that when I started to work on a computer with an IS on it, I could spend hours trying to diagnose the problem, only to find out that by taking the product of the IS, the problems have become much clearer and easier to solve.  I think that the product of the IS actually hides the problem.

  As I said, this is a controversial topic and you will find many different very strong opinions.  I know that mine is based on a fairly large sample over a long period, and are consumers of consumer type Windows.

  Please note.  You should never have more than one protection software installed.  Always make sure that you completely remove the firmware all protection before installing a new one.  That contains software that may have come preinstalled on your computer when it's new

  Totally impossible to delete most of all AV software simply by using the standard uninstallation tool Windows 7.  Most of the majors also publishes a "removal tool" that gets the rest.  If you do not completely remove it, it will cause very hard to understand and diagnose problems.

  Hi Mcjambi,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  When was the last time you were able to change the firewall settings?

  Did recent changes to the computer?

  What anti-virus software is installed on your computer?

  What happens when you try to run Internet Explorer, Chrome or opera?

  Do you get error messages when you try to use them?

  Look for the service to the Windows Firewall Service if it is started or not.

  1. click on start

  2. in the start search box, type Services

  3. click right on - RUN as ADMINISTRATOR

  Check if the below mentioned services has mentioned State and type start.
