Firewall protection

I clicked on the security of the control panel to check the status of my firewall and it showed it was off. I clicked on and then you click on Disable Control Panel. Moments later, out of curiosity, I went back again safe and it showed that my firewall is turned off? Anyone has any suggestions as to why it is that? Thanks for any help.

Hello

If you have a suite Internet Security for computer security (Trend Micro, McAfee, Norton, etc they have their own firewall and disable the Windows Firewall, that you shouldn't have 2 firewalls running.)

___________________________________________________

If this isn't the problem, Malware will stop security programs and stop your firewall.

You tell us what you use for an Antivirus.

Scan for Malware in Safe Mode with network, if it does not do it in Normal Mode.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#winxo

Windows XP

Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the machine starts first, yet once it will list usually some equipment that is installed on your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a menu of Advanced Options in Windows XP.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking option using the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start safe mode.
  5. Make all the necessary tasks and when finished restart to start in 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:

  • Windows Vista Security Center reports that I have no firewall protection or malicious software.

    The Security Center also identifies a program Avanquest fix it is obsolete and did not provide security with a solution center to question. This piece of software has not served more than a year, and while it is still in the system, it is inactive.

    Anyone else has a problem with the last set of updates Vista?

    geoffreystone2

    Updates that took place after the restore point have been removed, if these programs need to be updated again (it is the restoration of the operating system - in fact, that's why it works).  It works simply on the updates of Windows, but on the updates or installations of any kind (except changes to the data).  This is not a problem and should completely (and was mentioned in my post above).  Reinstall the updates and you'll be fine here.

    System Restore may take a long time.  L ' turn off in the Middle can cause problems - problems, different problems and even serious problems.  If updates are still there (and you encounter other problems which essentially the same that you started with most of the time), then the system restore did not work or was not correctly filled (but it make some changes if some of your edits are no longer working at least partially and perhaps even completely) (, but just was not given enough time).  I suggest you try again and this time give him more time to finish - say a few hours at least, or maybe more, given the current circumstances.  To do this before you perform any relocation above because they will be lost again.

    I don't understand the issue of e-mail messages.  What do you mean by 'coded '?  What email program are you using?  I suspect that this may be the result of turning off the system before restoring it finished (or the problem with the system restore if it worked actually).  A successful restoration will solve I hope that whatever it is as well - but if we cannot get this to work, we need to abandon this effort at least for the moment.

    If this does not work, then I suggest you follow the advice of Malke (assuming that you have not already) and explain your efforts with the restoration of the system and the results that occurred as well so that they fully understand the situation.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Sygate Firewall (Protection Tages) blocked due to incompatibility with Windows 7

    I've recently updated my laptop from Vista to the brilliant Windows 7 without any problem except at startup, I get an error on the contextual Action Center message saying "a driver has been disabled because of incompatibility" what causes my startup to > 5 minutes (very annoying).
    On investigation, it seems the driver is something to do with a Sygate Firewall and trys to direct me to Symantec, but I use McAfee Security Suite, Norton?
    I think that when I bought the laptop he had 30 day free trial of Norton, which I uninstalled it after a few days, this could be the problem, a left to the thread, and if so how can I remove this for always?
    I looked my with Ashampoo Startup Applications and cleaned my registry etc, but no joy?
    Problem event name is 'ApphelpHardBlock' OS Version 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1, locale I.D. 2057, bucket I.D 394151033
    Any help to fix this would be most appreciated

    I had this same problem and I noticed with the same message on the Sygate firewall with the troubleshooter.  I spent a lot of time trying to clean the registry and so on trying to get rid of the issue of driver without result.  Then I noticed that the manufacturer of the driver was his TAGS.  I went on their website and discovered that it is a protection for CD driver and so on.  I downloaded the driver, updated, and the question about my computer disappeared.  Take a look at the manufacturer of the driver the next time that you run the troubleshooter.  I'm not a computer scientist, but it worked for me.  Now, if only I can get my external drive to work, I'll be in good shape.  Moreover, after trying to clean the registry and files Norton left behind that I would never install one of their products again, anything is better then the Symantic _ distributes.

    Hello

    • This error message do you receive when you use weird software?

    Try the steps mentioned below:

    Method 1: uninstall the third-party firewall if installed on the computer, and then check if you can run the Firewall protection correctly.

    Note: running more than one program firewall on your computer at the same time could cause conflicts. It is best to use a firewall, in addition to a routers firewall program.

    Method 2: Check with another user account.

    Note: If the computer has a single user, create a new user account.

    (a) create a new administrator user account: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Create-a-user-account

    (b) connect again user account and check.

    c) once the problem is resolved, then copies the user profile data and settings to the new profile of the user, continue with the steps outlined in the article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

  • Conflicts with native Firewall VPN

    I use OS X El Capitan 10.11.4

    I have subscribed to a VPN connection provided by PIA (private Internet access) and noticed that the client VPN of PIA disables native firewall protection for OS X El Capitan.  This isn't really a concern as long as the duration of the VPN connection and the computer is protected via the VPN and its own firewall.  However, when the VPN connection drops and I'm not around to immediately re-engage the OS X Firewall, there is a period of time when the computer is not protected by a firewall.  Support to PIA could not provide me with a conclusive answer to this subject, and it seems unsure as to if there is a viable solution to this any time soon.

    First question: is there a work around to avoid the defusing of the OS X Firewall?

    Second question: is there a way to force an instant VPN reconnect as soon as the VPN connection is lost?

    Hello dubwisedude,

    Don't worry the Firewall of OS X. It's a waste of time. If you are concerned about these things, don't turn on all sharing services. Firewalls is misunderstood. They are tools for network administrators. They don't have much use for end users. The Application OS X Firewall is particularly useless. Its default behavior is to allow about anything, sometimes without tell you about it.

    Your router provides firewall protection, so the need is not the same

    all firewall software.

    But my opinion is that you would be a lot safer if you have run a
    router software, and since there is little reason not to, I
    recommend that you do.

    Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

    I agree.

    @OP Windows XP (SP2 and above), Vista, 7 and 8 all have active firewall software by default.

    There is no need of any 3rd party firewall.

    Some users like running programs such as ZoneAlarm because it warns him from the processes that use the network, and then there is the possibility to deny/allow it on the spot, or deny/allow forever. There may be slight discomfort in the installation, but once it's for all your programs, and then it really can work in silent mode.

    Microsoft Firewall simply leave everything default, but they can be configured manually to block anything outgoing or incoming.

At the suggestion of the PA Pooh, I unloaded ZA and activated Windows Firewall - no more conflict.

    I liked the alerts because there seems to be a lot of things happening in the background that I had never heard. I enjoyed being able to see what was going on and kill him. "what do you say every time I open a file that you want to connect to the internet?"

    The other part is that I use my laptop and more in environments where I don't have an internet connection I do in coffee shops where I have WiFi. I didn't want the constant slowdown of who-knows-what-and-how-many programs to make repeated calls for a connection.

(There's a guy at Starbucks, almost every day that comes out of three laptops and one buncha other things - it's his corner office!)

    Y at - it an anti virus that goes with my default firewall for windows xp? I had microsoft essentials, but it comes with a separate firewall

    Microsoft Security Essentials does not include a firewall, it fits with the (default) Windows Firewall. During installation, Microsoft Security Essentials scans the PC to determine if a firewall is enabled on the PC. If no firewall protection is present, you can turn on the Windows Firewall. See features and benefits-Windows Firewall integration. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials/product-information

    What do you currently use for antivirus protection? If none came preinstalled on a trial basis? You make sure that you remove any other antimvirus/anitmalware real-time software before installing MSE? Refer to the following:

    List of product anti-malware removal tools

    No antivirus/antimalware software will offer 100% protection. MSE is as good, if not better than the other free and paid for the products. It is well suited for older machines to XP because it is light on the use of resources and as stated earlier suits well with the firewall of Windows (default).

    I hope this helps.

    Do you have XP Pro?

    If so, Windows Firewall can be inhibited by group policy.

    Start the Group Policy Editor:
    Start-> Run-> "gpedit.msc".

    Then go to:

    Local computer policy-> computer-> administration-> network model Configuration->
