• Why programs not marked in the list of windows firewall exceptions are still able to maintain the internet connection?

  Original title: exceptions to firewall

  Can someone explain how I have after uncheck the programs in the list of windows firewall exceptions, they are still able to maintain an internet connection? I use XP sp3.

  1. what makes you think that this unnamed programs are still able to maintain an Internet connection?

  2 Windows Firewall blocks unsolicited incoming connections.  Thus, for example, if you (or malicious software), set up a FTP server running on your computer, Windows Firewall will block an application from the Internet on your computer that are trying to establish a connection and download some of your files.

  However, when your web browser sends a request to a Web site server to load a page, incoming web server traffic is allowed because it's in response to a request made on your computer.

  This distinction between the incoming and outgoing traffic is why some people insist that the third-party firewall, which usually block/monitor of traffic in both directions is required.  The scenario is that you inadvertently introduce malware on your computer (in any number of ways), and then the malware "phones home" to establish a link with the bad guys, who continue to do what they want on your computer.

• Import the settings in Windows Firewall

  We have a Windows 7 computer that has some unique firewall settings that allow our software to measure work.  This is a combination of rules about 30.  So I see that it is quite easy to "Export" these rules in .csv, but how to "import" the same set of rules in our other 30 computers.

  I have the .csv file in front of me who has all the settings of rules we need.  Can someone tell me the steps to import these settings into the Windows Firewall?

  Thank you

• "Globe / icon" mysteriously takes the place of internet shortcut icons.

  I guess this question is an ongoing thing with other users of IE 8.  Whenever I have create a shortcut on my desktop from a Web site, either more personal websites shortcut icon or I get that I guess being an icon by default, for example a white dog-eared page with an 'E' blue in the Center.  Which should, however, after a short time or even a day or two, the icon changes in this 'blue and green globe' or an icon of the "Earth-like" of the same color or nature.

  In terms laymans, how can it be corrected, get rid of the blue and green globe icon, without having to personally go to change the files in the operating system of my computer.  I'm not and I guess a great many other users, are not a computer expert or a technician and we have enough trouble with this problem of "icon" without adding to our grief by changing orders that we do not know how to correct if something goes wrong.  Microsoft offers a download or maybe a fix for the problem of this icon of switching for those of us who are not so clever programming or to modify these commands?

  Loving Windows 7, but do not love shortcut icons that have a spirit that is clean!

  This problem occurs only on internet icons, although when you click it, you get the web page you wanted the shortcut to bring up, it's just that 'gawd awful' blue and green globe of the Earth that is the issue.

  In the meantime, I found a solution much simpler which does not require a lot of time and patience.  For those who still have the same problem that I once had, read on...

  • Right-click on the offending icon (globe blue and green, etc.)
  • When the window opens click on "Properties".
  • Left click on "change icon".
  • In the upper right corner of the left window click 'Browse '.
  • Scroll down until you see "url.dll.
  • Left click twice on "url.dll," then...
  • Left click on 'Apply' and then left click on 'OK' in the next or the next window and you should have all familiar white dog-eared page with the 'E' blue in the Center where the times "awful gawd" globe once.  I took care of all my blue and geen 'globe icons' last night (27/07/10) and they have yet to return.  Simple, clean and... effective now.

  Thanks for the timely response if I received on this post, it is appreciated. : o).

He has not only deleted the incoming power and outgoing traffic rules, he removed the DEFAULT values is that all the default settings of the Control Panel-Windows Firewall-restoration netsh uses to perform a restore from a known set of the default initial settings. If none of these options work, and I don't have another machine to get something to copy. This may not be so rare lately, like virus get more aggravating at the time. All viruses that wants to do a thorough job of * you off clearly would remove the default values as well as the current rules precisely to do evil to restore. There must be a way to get a standard set of default values for initial return, either: - a low-level - canonical list of repair operation - fixit utility - Microsoft has to right Win7?

• There is more! ... Re: "could not start the Windows Firewall: error no. 5.

  Member of the community of Windows 'rap2pac' has provided a working solution for many of his colleagues in the Windows community. who has managed to "Start" the service of WIndows Firewall except for 'my computer '! * * * *

  My laptop FAS recently survived an attack of one of these "ransom of FBI virus". It took the comprehensive analyses of the, "AVG Free 2013"and "Security Essentials" of Microsoft to find and remove all four of the Trojans, who were in fact the active components of the "FBI virus".

  There was also the necessary research in the 'register', "Temporary files" and the "user files" to locate and delete all newly modified and/or suspicious looking for folders, files, permissions or registry keys.

  Unfortunately, after all signs of the virus seemed to be gone, I discovered that Windows Defender and Windows Firewall were the two people with reduced mobility. Windows Firewall wouldn't start and that's what brought me here... to find a solution.

  I read on and is quickly realized that I was not alone. There are many other victims without Windows Firewall. I came across the answer of "rap2pac", which contained a solution that received "rave." I followed his instructions and applied to my laptop. When I clicked on "Start", to start the Windows Firewall service, a window has popped up with this alert message:

  " ! Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall service on the Local computer.

  ERROR 1079: the account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process. »

  I don't understand what that means. I am at a loss and my fuistrations have overexceded their limited storage space... "me!"  ... ;)

  Please respond with any suggestions that you might have to help in the resolution of this problem.

  Thank you for your attention.

• 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"... succeeded
  Any ideas would be most appreciated.
  Thank you.

• On Windows 7, how can I get more flexibility with the Windows Firewall?

  Here's the situation.

  I use a laptop for work and home. To keep the separate thing, I use two different accounts: one that opens a session in the field of work and one that connects to the computer.
  The account that connects to the local computer has administrative privileges. Yet, when I go to configure the firewall at home, I get the message "For your security, some settings are managed by your system administrator." I'm unable to enable or disable the firewall, and even less to configure protocols or specific programs.
  It is worth noting that even by connecting the computer with the account named Administrator the same problem occurs.
  Leave the domain, then by restarting allows me all access to the commands of Windows Firewall (at least, all the ones I tried), but the message remains. The problem is that I have to go through the process of joining the domain when I return to work.
  I'd like to be able to do is connect to the domain with the account of work and at home, log on to the local computer and have full administrator rights (as a note, I've also noticed some restrictions file I could not go beyond, but it is secondary). What can I do to achieve this?

  The short answer is Yes, we can do it... but... I know that if I had this request made of me, my answer would be no because it is a company owned machine. Unless he was a great boss, of course, but even then, I'd probably push.

  I hope this helps.

• Why my Windows Firewall keep turn off briefly?

  I just launched a recovery on Pavilion Media Center TV m7470n desktop my father, which has restored XP Media Edition 2005 SP2. I then installed SP3 and use Windows Update to get the latest updates. The system now works fine, but from time to time, I get a popup notification that says that the Windows Firewall is disabled. The popup balloon quickly and when I enter the Security Center Windows Firewall appears as on. I did a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials and I also tried Trend Micro HouseCall and RootkitBuster. None of the scans showed no threat, but I'm still uncomfortable with the ball of myesterious to appear several times a day. Someone saw?

  Now, I think the HP software that updates the computer was responsible. I tried to get the updates by running the software myself, but he says there is no update available. After a day or two, however, he popped up and told me that several updates were waiting to be installed. After you install the updates from HP, the problem with the Windows Firewall stopped.
