• Vista firewall and network settings

  Greetings,

  Running Vista Ultimate OS and for the McAfee Security Center security system, providing the Dell system.  Security Center is a brand product (McAfee) Dell.  It includes a firewall.  It is generally not recommended to run two firewalls at the same time on the same system.  In this case, my preference is to disable the Windows Vista firewall and manage only the McAfee Security Center Firewall.

  However, by doing so, effects of undesirable changes in the Windows Vista network configuration.  Specifically, disable the Vista Firewall automatically turns on the discovery network and file sharing in the network settings of Vista, which is not desired.

  The question:

  What is the solution to run Windows Vista with the firewall (Vista) integrated offshore, the McAfee Security Center Firewall and discovery network and settings (network) off the coast of file sharing?

  By the way, my troubleshooting on this has included disable McAfee Firewall to determine if she could be causing a conflict with the firewall and Windows network settings.  Apparently not, because even with McAfee firewall off it is still not possible to disable the Windows Firewall (in this case, No firewall is running) without network discovery and sharing settings being switched automatically on files.

  Again, the goal is to run the McAfee Firewall with the network discovery and parameters (network) off the coast of file sharing and Windows Vista firewall off the coast.

  Thank you-

  Network discovery is enabled or disabled in vista network and sharing Center by activating or deactivating vista firewall rules. You can maybe re-create these rules in the McAfee Firewall, although they will be not be enabled / disabled from the network sharing Center. The following site will show how to display vista firewall rules:
  http://NPR.Freei.me
  Are you sure there is no setting in McAfee to block the sharing of files and network discovery?

  Note: the rules for sharing printers and files, and network discovery are clearly identified in the vista firewall.

• Windows Firewall and Windows Security Center cannot start. In addition, no WSC in the services.msc list. What should do?

  Hey guys. I looked up and down for a solution to this problem.

  I already tried this solution:

  http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/archive/2011/12/27/error-code-0x80070424-with-Windows-Firewall-and-quot-base-filtering-engine-service-quot-not-available-in-services-database-list.aspx

  Although the only problem is at last step when I turn on the firewall Windows or WSC (windows Security Center) since neither of them are present
  in the list of the services.msc.

  So here I am without any windows security, no firewall and no updates. I really need help here. I was attacked by malware, a day ago, and everything happened after that. I removed the malware with program ESET NOD, but it seems that the malware corrupted my registry/safety inputs.

  Thanks in advance.

  I'm guessing that you're referring to a problem involving Security Center that sometimes occurs after the silent update through Windows Update to the new version of MSE.  Usually, but not always the problem occurs on computers running XP.   This occurred after updates of Windows of today?

• Windows could not start service Security Center, Windows 7

  I am using windows 7 ultimate in my laptop, but whenever I try to open the security service windows to open action center located on the menu to the Quick Launch bar, it generates an error message stating:

  "Could not start the windows Security Center service.
  No error number.

  You can try the steps below and check if the problem is resolved.

  Try to manually start the service from the Services Management Console.

  For the Services console type in the find field, then press ENTER. You will need to click continue if you are prompted to open the Services window.

  After the opening of Component Services.

  Click: Services (Local)

  At the bottom of the window there will be two tabs, click: Standard

  After that will appear a list of services, including Security Center

  In this window, you must locate the Security Center service do a right click it and go to Properties, select Automatic, and then click apply , then select Start.

  If your Security Center turns off automatically after a few seconds or minutes, proceed as shown in the following post:
  COMBOFIX WORKED FOR ME! in Windows 7
  My symptoms were the same as above. Only when affecting the automatic Security Center service, and the startup, it automatically set it to homes disabled after a few seconds or more.
  This solution worked for me,
  -activate the hidden administrator account by following the steps on this tutorial... http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/
  -Once finished activating in the command prompt, to bookmark the websites for later use and log on to Windows.
  There is now an administrator option in the logon screen.
  -log on to the administrator account open a browser and open this page again.
  -Click on this link below and download to your desktop... http://www.combofix.org/downloadlink.php
  -disable your connection and internet anti-virus software.
  -Now run combofix.exe
  A window will appear and many scans will take place. It will take some time. Finally, the computer may restart. When this is the case, log back in the administrator account and Combofix will resume running for a little while. Do nothing until the log file appears automatically.
  -Restart your pc and you log in Administrator account.
  -now set the Security Center service back to automatic, then click on apply. Then, click on start and ok.
  -Restart your PC and you can now log in to your normal user account.
  Everything should work now... Well, it did for me.
  If you want to disable the account again, you can do so by following the steps to disable in the link above.
  After HAVING finished with "Combofix" you may have to restart your computer once more, and then go to "Security Center" again via "Component Services" and Activate and Start Security Center. This time, it will work for good.
  I hope this helps and good luck!
