  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.

• 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.

  Hey Hashiriya Allan

   
  Microsoft licenses part of it is that a single license is for a single installation
  You can not have vista installed on two laptops using the same product key
  and if vista was preinstalled on your old laptop this is an oem license and cannot be transferred to another machine

• 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.

• Some programs cannot connect to the internet on Windows Vista?

  I'm unable to connect to the internet, such as Internet Explorer, programs/games programs that use a program that download in the same way to torrents, almost everything that is to connect to the internet for more information. The only programs that can access the internet are Firefox and a few games I downloaded before this problem occurred. I tried to disable the Windows Firewall, leaving the programs through Windows Firewall, but still nothing.

  You use Norton or McAfee - Script disable blocking if you can.  If this is not the case, try to uninstall the application and start the game again.

  Perform a clean boot

• Cannot re - install the Bluetooth on Windows vista 64-bit - Satellite A305

  I'm having a problem with my bluetooth to my new computer Toshiba A305-S6843.

  He runs the 64-bit version of Vista.

  The machine used version 6.10.02T build 20080128 on it, but the bluetooth radio would not allow. The device has been recognized in the Device Manager, but the mistake I'd get was "Bluetooth is not ready" when I clicked on ACTIVATE.

  So, I tried to install the latest version of the software on your downloads page . "TOSHIBA Bluetooth Stack 6.10.10 (T).

  When it unpacks and starts to install. The error I get is: "the operating system is not adequate for running on Toshiba bluetooth stack" and fails. »

  When I try to reinstall the old version "6.10.02T Build 20080128" - I get an error "1155" and that's all.

  Now, I can't reinstall any battery Bluetooth to operate.

  Help, please

  You probably downloaded the x 32 version instead of the x 64 one. Download the x 64 version and try again.
