Method n ° 3, suggesting to start the firewall manually by going into services.msc, I can't go through with this method because I don't see that the firewall Windows listed in the services. What can I do to get the firewall working again?

Impossible to turn on the Windows Firewall, get 0x8007042c error code
Do not let me turn on the firewall... code 0x8007042c error... How can I get rid of the error?
Not so much because of the error code, but because your system is probably infected with malicious rogue security software, while your genuine Norton Security program has been completely disabled and is therefore more actively protects you.
New malware secretly uninstall your Antivirus and then takes its place
Since your security protection comes through Norton, you should seek the help of Norton in his withdrawal. This infection can are delivered with a rootkit, and guiding the help of Norton or a malware removal Forum would be appropriate in these circumstances.

virus corrupted, windows firewall
has been affected by a virus that has destroyed essential elements of security and turned off the firewall. I reinstalled essentials, but cannot open the firewall program to reactivate "due to a not identifiable problem" that windows does not recognize. What can I do to fix this?

It is unlikely that all damages that are left behind.
Restore the system to factory settings. Update all drivers hardware devices with the appropriate constructors. Update the operating system completely patched. Install applications of your backups of installation media and series/product numbers keys. Updated all of the latest patches. Restore all your personal data. Enjoy your own and probably faster running machine.
I suggest you also protect it with a compbination of eSet NOD32 AntiVirus and MalwareBytes (paid version) to ~ 85USD for the first two years and ~ $60 every two years after. One of the best combination of performance and protection, I found.

Hi Tom,
A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. The firewall blocks the information or allows information to pass to your computer. If the information is blocked or passed through depends on your firewall settings. A firewall can prevent malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers. Windows XP, Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP SP3 includes firewall software.
