  Hello

  What do you use for security?

  If you are using an Internet Security Suite, it will have its own firewall and disables the default Windows Firewall.

  And you should have only one firewall to avoid problems related to the operating system.

• Upgrade hangs on "Windows finalizes your settings.

  The upgrade to Vista Ultimate 64-bit
  System: Desktop computer Dell Studio XPS 435MT, Quad-core i7, 64-bit, 8GB memory

  I read somewhere that I can hit Shift + F11 to see what happens during the above screen, is it true?

  Hi banderson1962,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Forum.

  In some cases, you can use the command prompt for troubleshooting the installation process of Windows Vista/Windows 7. By default, the command-line prompt is enabled in Windows Vista/Windows 7.

  The combination of keys to open the command prompt is SHIFT + F10 and not SHIFT + F11.

  Once the command prompt is in place, you can simply navigate to different folders and track the files that are copied.

  Thank you and best regards,

• "Windows Firewall cannot change some of your settings. Error code 0 x 80070424 ' how to fix this?

  I get this error: "firewall Windows cannot change some of your settings. Error code 0 x 80070424"when I try to turn on the Windows Firewall (Windows 7).  I am also unable to start my computer in safe mode.  My computer has been infected by the virus 'Win 7 Security 2012', which is what caused this damage to my system.  The virus also seems to have removed all the system restore points before the infection!  I believe that I have the virus completely deleted.  I used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware, Kapersky Virus Removal Tool, antivirus Ati Avira (anti-virus program I was running when my computer has been infected by the virus) & Microsoft Security Essentials.  I ran the Scan SFC, a tool for emergency response Microsoft Support, Microsoft FixIt, ComboFix, & Tweaking.com Windows Repair all-in-One.  Repair Windows Tweaking.com seems to be turned Action Center back, where I now get a message that: "Windows Defender is turned off" & it does not seem to recognize MSE as my anti-virus program.  I need to know how to get Windows Firewall works again & get Action Center working properly again.  My computer has a partition with my Windows Recovery on it, but since I can't start in safe mode, I can not also start the restore partition to do a "repair" install, or even restore to factory settings!  Can anyone help?

  Also, when I use a search engine on internet, I get re-directed to a site that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the result of the research, and I click on... I am not that so that is proof that the virus is not COMPLETELY gone or not.
