Is this a sudden, new problem or a course?

Automatic updates is enabled?

What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

    The firewall of windows 7 actually works?

    I ask because I tried to block certain IP addresses; I created a rule for outbound custom where I entered the IP addresses and set it for all applications. However, when I go on a website, I see using TcpView IP (s) I created the rule for is connected (established).

    My question is how to use Windows Firewall to block the IPs, or is that not possible?

    Hi imoffshore,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • How can I stop the firewall blocking ports of gaming?

    Original title: port blocking of firewall, that can not unlock & failure audit

    I had a very annoying problem with my ports lately. I don't think I did something to change my settings, but I had a little virus at the time, it began to happen, I get removed (at least for the most part...)

    Basically, my ports that I opened for the games were closed, even though I had port-forwarded correctly in my router configuration pages. I finally tried to disable the firewall of Windows completely and all of a sudden my ports were working. I tried to set my firewall settings if it would work when turned on while keeping my ports are open, but I could not understand. I decided to just completely remove all settings and restore the default configuration. In this way, I have just wait for notification that appears and says "Windows Firewall has prevented blah blah blah" and ask me to block the incoming/outgoing connection. But I never got this message. "Not a huge deal," I thought, ' I'll just add it manually then.» I continued to come in the error "an error occurred during the addition of the rule. Error: Access is denied. Status: the rule has been analyzed with success of the store. "I tried to add port rules, the rules of the program, custom rules, but none of them worked. I decided to check the event viewer later and noticed Audit failures when I opened my programs that relied on the ports. The error says "firewall Windows could not notify the user that he blocked an application to accept inbound connections on the network. Error code: 5 (event ID: 5032)

    Now, after a lot of googling and few answers, I've seen people make that same mistake, but with the error Code: 2 perhaps, but I don't think that I've never seen more than one person getting an error code 5. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? The only way I can do what I have (almost) everything want right now is away the Windows Firewall, but I always get problems of port with a couple of my programs. The best explanation is that this virus tinkered around with my firewall settings, but there may be a way to fix it through the registry editor?

    Team blog product Microsoft Update: Windows Update and restarting automatic http://blogs.technet.com/mu/archive/2008/10/02/windows-update-and-automatic-reboots.aspx

    Change how Windows installs or informs you about updates http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates>

    If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

    You can change the setting "notify only". Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded updates are installed commandeLorsque, which they are installed.

    I prefer "Notify only" setting.

    When they are installed.

    What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

    While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live [as well as Silverlight & Microsoft Security Essentials]. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

    Source: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/FAQ.mspx>

    If you disable Microsoft Update, your default update source is "reversed" update of Windows, but it does NOT neutralize automatic updates.

    However, now a Windows Update does not work.  Security Center Windows were told to go to control panel > system and use the Automatic Updates tab.  But, if I go to control panel > system, the Automatic Updates tab does not appear.

    I also went to the control panel > Services.  Tried to start the automatic updates service.  Received this error message: could not start the service automatic updates on Local computer.  Error 126: The specified module could not be found

    In the thread above, I was following the post on 30 August.  According to Option A, I completed step 5 for the uninstallation of McAfee Security.  At this time, my network card has stopped working.  On the recommendation of the officer, I posted to the Malwarebytes forum.  The officer determined Malwarebytes that I don't have a malicious software.  I ended up posting on forum McAfee to get my network card works again.  Then I reinstalled McAfee and start to run Windows Update.

    I started with Option A, step 8 to reset Internet Explorer using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737.  The difficulty it has worked very well.

    Then Option A, step 9 says reset Windows Update using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  When I ran the difficulty in default or aggressive mode, I got an error message saying: he cannot start wuauserv.  The message asks me to verify that the user has privileges to take this step.  Well, I checked through user accounts who am the only one user set up on this PC and I have administrator privileges.  Help me please run this difficulty or recommend another way to get Windows Update works again.

    A1. Yes, and it was my recommendation in August, too.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p119: Windows 10: since the execution of Windows update, I can't connect to the wireless network

    Hello, HP assistance.

    I'm having a problem with the connection to my home Wi - Fi network. I am sure the problem has nothing to do with my material and is a problem of Windows only.

    Here's the story: I was fortunately with the Internet from the network before and Windows was connecting automatically every time. But since the Windows Update recently it does not connect. Sometimes it says "unable to connect to this network" and then sometimes it comes up with a box asking me to enter a user name and a password. The thing is... I've never set up a password in Windows for Internet access, so I do not know why he was asking me now. I looked around the Internet via my Tablet (which is connected to the same Wi - Fi network fine, with my phone) and found that it is a common problem. And yet, none of the solutions work for me.

    I wonder if the solution is somehow change the settings so that a password is not required to connect to a network. Or maybe enter a default user name and password when the box appears again. That said, the box did not come for a while.

    Help, please!

    Thank you for your query.

    I understand that your mobile phone works well and you didn't have any problems with your wireless connection. After the upgrade to Windows 10, your wireless network is intermittent and will prompt you for a user name and password.

    The guest is not the Internet, but rather to join your network. He is looking for the network name and password.

    When I did a search for HP laptop 15-p119, I was unable to locate this model. Would you please check your model? How can I find my model number or product number?

    After the upgrade to Windows 10 did you all your Windows updates?

    Sometimes it fails to be installed automatically, if you can try running the Troubleshooting of windows update. to maybe gain others.

    You run the HP Support Assistant since the upgrade?

    If the problem persists, once you have established a test of Wi - Fi automatically update drivers Device Manager wireless.

    • Right click on the Windows button in the bottom left corner, then choose Device Manager

    • Click network to expand the list

    • Right click on the wireless adapter and choose put updated driver

    Select "Automatically search for updated driver software" this month may start a download to install a newer driver.

  • I need to find the source file or registry that creates "Services" Exceptions in the firewall of Windows XP when the system is restarted.

    I have a boot sector virus (Troj/MBroot-H) that I can not remove from my computer without losing access to my HARD drive due to a custom boot partition.  I can't afford to repair or replace the computer I have at the moment, so I try to disable things as much as possible to neutralize this virus.  I have already downloaded Malwarebytes and analysis had revealed 18 registry viruses and files that have already been removed from the system.  The HelpAssistant account and its files have been deleted from the system.

    The only thing left to change is the firewall of Windows XP.  I currently have to restore Windows Firewall to its settings by default whenever I restart my computer because the virus has configured the system to add more 'services' and 'management' objects in the list of Exceptions whenever the system is restarted.  If I don't do that an outside source will invade the system via remote desktop and add the HelpAssistant account and the file.  I need to know how to replace system orders that creates these objects for additional exceptions during the restart.  I want to restore full contol on the firewall of Windows XP by allowing not exceptions except those I choose.  Is there a Window XP Firewall registry key or file that can be removed, replaced or changed to keep these elements to be added to the list of exceptions?

    Thank you

    The computer is still severely infected and you will not be able to "establish complete control over the firewall of Windows XP". Backup your data and do a clean install of Windows.
