Windows Firewall and Security Center will not be open - Application not found

When I right click on my computer then properties, I get an error message "Application not found c:/windows\system32\rundl32.exe.

In Control Panel, when I click on the Security center and windows firewall, I get the same thing.

In the past, when I click on the above, the properties come with several tabs and the info on my computer and the firewall came to show if it is on or off.

I recently downloaded by Comcast Norton Security Suite. I don't know if this happened before or after that.

Also, I had something like 'XP Active something' burst by saying I had someone trying to hack into my computer and I might have a virus and run a scan now that I did. He came in saying that a list of things have been found and set up a page where I can buy protection for $59.99 per year. I did that and I who sold his to run a scan with Norton. It showed that she had blocked a Trojan horse and had several blocks of attempts to access my computer.

Can someone please tell me what to do? I am not very computer English savvy, so simple and clear please.

Thank you!

Hi, it seems that you have an infection of malicious software on your computer, the best way is to run the Security Scanner

  • Windows Firewall and Security Center will not start, error 1068 and 1079

    I can't start my firewall Windows, error: 1079... or Security Center, error: 1068. Can help you with this question? When I try to access the Dependencies tab I get this error: Win 32: the specefied for this service is different from the specefied to account for other services running in the same process.

    I checked to see if dependencies were the same account before I got the message of 'Win 32' and WMI Service runs in the same account (Local Service) as firewall and Security Center, but the RPC Service is running on the Network Service account and cannot be changed via the services console, because the account fields are gray and cannot be viewed or modified.

  • XP SP3 Security Center will not suddenly Norton Internet Security recognize?

    Windows XP SP3 Security Center won't recognize all of a sudden of Norton Internet Security. It has been fine for years. I don't have a virus.

    How to fix problem?

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum. I understand that XP SP3 Security Center will not recognize Norton Internet Security. I would like to help solve you the problem.

    This problem may occur if there is an inconsistency in the system files or folders associated with XP Security Center. Follow these methods:

    Method 1.

    Disable the firewall and check if that helps.

    How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions? : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283673

    Note: you should not disable Windows Firewall, unless you have another firewall is activated. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

    Method 2.

    Rename the storage folder.

    1 - Go to control panel, and then open administrative tools.

    2 - click on Services.

    3-go down to Windows Management Instrumentation and stop this service.

    4. stop the Security Center service.

    5-exit and close all windows.

    6. right click on start and select explore.

    7. go down to C:\windows or Winnt\system32\wbem\repository.

    8 remove only the storage folder

    9-go Back To Services and restart the WMI and the Security Center service.

    10. close all windows and restart the computer.

    Let us know if you need assistance with any windows problem. We will be happy to help you.

  • Network and sharing Center will not be open in the Panel

    I've been away from home - where I HSI and it works very well - for a few months, I plugged to the network sporadically awireless (sometimes just bad signal), with a lot of frustration.  A few days ago, I went to a place where I could connect to a hard (secure) wireless network and enjoyed the smooth navigation for about an hour.  Later when I tried to connect to the smaller network, unsecure, I couldn't open my network and sharing Center. Whether from the drawer or the Control Panel, a screen opens displaying nothing, but the circle of rotation.  The TASK MANAGER IS REQUIRED to CLOSE THE PAGE - it will not answer the close box. TM shows the centre network and sharing as 'running', although there is no indication on the screen, except the title and the circle of rotation.

    My laptop is a dv6t Pavilion with Windows 7 (64-bit)

    All the other files in the Panel seem to open and operate normally.

    Hello Hamanslayer

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I understand the network and sharing Center will not be open. I will do my best to help you! If please launch and center network and sharing, and wait for him so that he can provide an error. In addition, please try to run Centre network and sharing in a different user account. If you don't have one, create one.

    I did some research on this issue. Unfortunately, the only reliable troubleshooting that is remaining, if the above does not help, is to reinstall the operating system. Too, there are different issues that could be causing it. Reinstalling the operating system will focus on each of them.

    First, please save all the files you need. You can find specific steps on how to proceed in the following HP document: backup of files (Windows 7)

    Once this is done, you can safely reinstall the operating system. I'll also give you a document on how to do it: perform a recovery of the system (Windows 7) HP

    Please let me know your results. Thanks again for the display on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works. Have reinstalled icloud a lot of time and know that the add-in does not show up in OUTLOOK.  Help

    I was pulling my hair re the incompatibility of iCloud and Outlook of Office 365 2016.  I finally got things to work on three of my computers - which are on the latest version of Windows 10.

    The steps that worked for me:

    (1) uninstall the plugin iCloud (what version you have); the uninstall may fail but if so don't worry as step 3 below overlays some iCloud plugin version you have installed

    (2) open the Control Panel, uninstall, change/repair Office 365; Select fast repair

    (3) reinstall iCloud plugin (version 5.1), then restart the system by following the instructions

    (4) after the reboot, plug in iCloud application Apple ID and password; Make sure that you enter your apple with the suffix icloud.com ID (e.g., [email protected])

    (5) check the iCloud options to your will (e.g., photo synch, synchronization of bookmarks, sync mail/calendar, etc.)

    (6) check apply it, leave the work plugin iCloud for a minute, when he finishes, check the closing
