Cannot depend on Windows Firewall after the removal of virus.
I've removed a virus, but cannot enable Windows Firewall. The error is "due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings"
@Tricky300 good advice
@krw006
Each of the variations of the sirefef are extremely wicked him force more often you to reinstall Windows. The reason is that changes made to the file system is usually bad. I'll be happy to try to help you to see if we can get the system to its original state by removing the malware. Unfortunately, the problem is that the file system become corrupt you remove malware. This can often leave you with a computer that won't start plu.
I would like first of all for you to get all your personal data off your computer. You have an external hard drive, cd/dvd disc or a disc thumb/flash that you can put your personal data for backup? In the affirmative, please download the data.
Finally, I would like to know how you want to move forward. As stated, I can help to see if we can remove malware or I can help you format the drive and reinstall Windows. Of course, this assumes you have a Windows disc or another recovery option.

Problem with Windows Update after the removal of Virus
My operating system is Win Vista 32 bit, had some virus closed my windows updates, have a view of the white page. Checked that my services and win update is in automatic mode has started, so I don't know why my updater gives me a red x saying windows updater is turned off. Any suggestions?
[Original title: Windows Update]
It makes more sense. How to reset the Windows Update components?
Yet, as indicated in The ball , the search results links do not work. I also used several browsers and DuckDuckGo. Maybe it's because the Windows Update Agent was changed some time ago and the article is no longer valid.
EDIT: If the OP is also struggling to access the link I suggest using repair Windows updates available from tweaking.com. I suggest also using the Registry backup of the same author before hand.

I installed win 8 January last on a xp pro machine, which was in surplus. I uninstalled the victory 8 and now impossible to reinstall win xp pro
The computer is a homemade which ran from win xp pro for several years. I installed win 8 trial knowing that it would take a new installation of XP Pro after the expiration of the 8 victory. I have reset my bios on a cd first and started in the installation cd after installing win xp, it went to boot, and the cd has been removed. a restart was launched and he went into the bios to save install and after the robot below the windows splash logo made 3 passes, he stopped at halfway. After this is is spent in attempts to bppting I noticed that whenever the start stopped he left the Num lock, cap lock, and scroll liux lights were all on on the keyboard. I traded my keyboard with one of my current computer and it always occurres. I started to reload several times now and always the same. No bios settings have helped.Hello
Unplug the machine to see if this allows the machine to reinstall the operating system of any material not needed (such as printers, fax, speakers, USB devices (except keyboard and mouse), Internet connections, etc.).

Windows Firewall service does not start after the removal of Virus
Hello
I believe that my son's computer has been infected with the Trojan.Agent.Ed virus. I managed to remove it (from different folders in AppData), but a few vestiges remain of course. The windows firewall service does not start - it throws an exception to access denied on startup and when I try to start the service manually.I tried to run the Sysinternals Process Monitor to display all events ACCESS DENIED and checked the permissions on the key to registry MpsSvc in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services and compared to a corresponding Windows 7 machine. I've even exported the key MpsSvc and sous-branches of the laptop in good health and tried to import into a failure, but the import does not seem to occur, even if it gives a message "imported".I also tried the troubleshooting of Windows Firewall that confusedly says:"Windows could not start the Windows Firewall... Not fixed"Set permissions for the registry keys involved"... succeeded"Windows Firewall service is not started. Not fixed"Starting the Firewall Service"... succeededAny ideas would be most appreciated.Thank you.It seems that I solved the problem by running this:

No windows firewall after the fbi virus
Recently, I caught the virus from the FBI and used Norton Power Eraser to get rid of him. However, now my windows firewall will not turn on. I get the 2different error messages: 'Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings,' and when I try to update the firewall settings "Windows Firewall could not make the requested updates. It also does not allow me to activate Windows defender, giving me the error code '0 x 800070424 '. My only system restore point comes from when I was still having this problem and my last backup was a while ago. What are my options here? Thank you!
Hello
What do you use for an Antivirus and it is part of a Suite of Internet 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.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
"Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.
Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.
Once modified, click apply and OK.
Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"
.
If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
"How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
Or the program Autoruns for FREE:
"V11.21 Autoruns for Windows"

Cannot open programs after the removal of virus to the AVG Virus Vault and rebooted.
Hi, I have AVG 2011 Free Edition and when I had a virus, AVG it is removed from the quarantine. He then told me to restart the computer to finish. So I restarted and I noticed that the programs which usually start up when I turn on the computer start (like AIM and others). In addition, when I try to open a program for example Firefox, it tells me to choose a program to open the file. It's really annoying and it won't let me choose a default program to open a specific file. Thank you all for the help!

XP Pro shortcuts do not work after the removal of virus
had a virus (XP Internet Security 2011), cleaned and ran cc cleaner - now the shortcuts don't work unless I right click to uncheck the option «protect data...» "under the currently logged-on user account, or choose 'run as administrator '.
Also if I open Control Panel I can not open all programs-ex firewall windows etc.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hi John,.
You can then create a new profile for the user by the listed method: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279783
and copy the data using the index method: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151
When you sign in as an administrator, you can rename your existing profile
C:\Document and settings\
Rename as desired. Now restart your pc and you connect with your normal login account.
It will recreate a user profile with the same identifier. Now refer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151 and copy data from the renamed account of this new profile, would be easy.
I hope this helps.

Hello
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
