Windows Firewall "Exceptions list".

I am running SP3 Windows XP Prof, Firefox 28 and Windows Firewall.

I recently noticed that Firefox is 'slow' loading and connection to Web sites.

I checked the 'Exceptions' list in the Windows Firewall, but Mozilla Firefox did not appear. Why Windows Firewall application doesn't have access during the installation of Firefox? Internet Explorer was not either and that my original browser browser and becomes 'slow', that's why I changed to Firefox.

From 'Add' and 'give permission' for Firefox, it runs a lot faster.

The second name of the program is superantiSpyware, where SAS.

MBAM has a very good reputation, more I think it is less intrusive than SAS.  That's why I suggested it.

As far as the SAS 'System tools' are concerned, those who are different from the malware scan/remove main task which is the reason to run SAS.  The tools to answer the damage that could be caused by a malware attacks different various.  If you have a particular symptom required by one of the tools, then go and try - I have no experience in a way or another with any of these tools.  There is no reason to run all or part of the tools as part of regular maintenance.

  • Why programs not marked in the list of windows firewall exceptions are still able to maintain the internet connection?

    Original title: exceptions to firewall

    Can someone explain how I have after uncheck the programs in the list of windows firewall exceptions, they are still able to maintain an internet connection? I use XP sp3.

    1. what makes you think that this unnamed programs are still able to maintain an Internet connection?

    2 Windows Firewall blocks unsolicited incoming connections.  Thus, for example, if you (or malicious software), set up a FTP server running on your computer, Windows Firewall will block an application from the Internet on your computer that are trying to establish a connection and download some of your files.

    However, when your web browser sends a request to a Web site server to load a page, incoming web server traffic is allowed because it's in response to a request made on your computer.

    This distinction between the incoming and outgoing traffic is why some people insist that the third-party firewall, which usually block/monitor of traffic in both directions is required.  The scenario is that you inadvertently introduce malware on your computer (in any number of ways), and then the malware "phones home" to establish a link with the bad guys, who continue to do what they want on your computer.

  • There are no programs listed in the exception list allow programs and features in the Windows on Windows 7 firewall

    I try to add a program to the Windows Firewall exceptions list. When I go to control configuration\systeme and Security\Windows Firewall\Allowed programs, I discovered that there were not all of the programs listed.

    If I click on the "Edit settings" button, it becomes grey and nothing happens. I am the Admin so I should have access to it. When I click on the button "Allow another program", any program, I am trying to add will give me an error message saying "firewall cannot add Windows ' [program]" to the list of exceptions.

    This has happened recently. I was able to add programs to the list of exceptions before.

  • There is more! ... Re: "could not start the Windows Firewall: error no. 5.

    Member of the community of Windows 'rap2pac' has provided a working solution for many of his colleagues in the Windows community. who has managed to "Start" the service of WIndows Firewall except for 'my computer '! * * * *

    My laptop FAS recently survived an attack of one of these "ransom of FBI virus". It took the comprehensive analyses of the, "AVG Free 2013"and "Security Essentials" of Microsoft to find and remove all four of the Trojans, who were in fact the active components of the "FBI virus".

    There was also the necessary research in the 'register', "Temporary files" and the "user files" to locate and delete all newly modified and/or suspicious looking for folders, files, permissions or registry keys.

    Unfortunately, after all signs of the virus seemed to be gone, I discovered that Windows Defender and Windows Firewall were the two people with reduced mobility. Windows Firewall wouldn't start and that's what brought me here... to find a solution.

    I read on and is quickly realized that I was not alone. There are many other victims without Windows Firewall. I came across the answer of "rap2pac", which contained a solution that received "rave." I followed his instructions and applied to my laptop. When I clicked on "Start", to start the Windows Firewall service, a window has popped up with this alert message:

    " ! Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall service on the Local computer.

    ERROR 1079: the account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process. »

    Unfortunately, the link you provided goes to answers for Windows server, not Win7Pro, but I got the idea.

    I found this statement, (that I neglected before,) on the page for the Windows Firewall:

    Firewall Windows with advanced security is designed for use by COMPUTER administrators who need to manage network security in an enterprise environment. It is not intended for use in home networks. Home users should consider using the Windows Firewall program available in the Panel.

    It also begins to help.  I have another question to try to set up the FTP, and it is to change the default port 21 to something else.  Unfortunately, even if the programs allowed Windows Firewall prompt indicates change port settings, click on "change setitings", when I do, I'm only able to enter the program of applications, not to define the ports.

    Oh, well.  I guess the only provision I have is port forwarding in my router, and if it doesn't work, I'm outta luck.

  • Windows Security Center is disabled and there is that no Service security not listed under services. Also, the Windows Firewall does not work.

    I have a security alert window in the center of the Action, which shows me that the Security Center Service is disabled. When I try to turn it on by clicking the Activate button now, I get the message: could not start the Service Windows Security Center without any error code. When I start my program I see no registration for the Security Service in services.msc. I use Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. I tried to scan with Microsoft Security Essentials, which is updated.

Please help as I have tried to go well as each answer or the Forum but without success. What is a bug MSE or a real problem.

    When you have imported the registry key, you probably do not change the permissions on the registry keys.

    Reach

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BFE

    Right click on it -permissions

    Click ADD and type

    Everyone, and then click ok

    Now click on all

    Below, you have the permission for users

    Select full control, and then click ok

    DO the same for the "reg" MPSSVC so key which also returns access denied.

    Make sure also canceled to start service to invite you, he should be admin/elevated command prompt.

    Also, you may need a system restart after changing the permissions on the registry key.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Bernard,.

    Thanks for asking your concern in Microsoft Community!

    I see from the description of your post, that you are facing problems with the firewall settings.

    You are able to view the same in safe mode?

    Worry and follow these steps.

    Step 1:

    Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.

    Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.

    Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    If it works fine in safe mode, and then put the computer to boot and see if the problem still occurs.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Disabled all incoming in the Windows Firewall, internet connections still work

    I have disabled all inbound connections in windows firewall, but not noticed any problem with my internet connection. Weird how? For example, I let Internet Explore establish outbound connections, but do not allow for it or any other service/program to receive incoming connections. But Internet Explorer still gets responses from the servers on the internet when the requesting State pages and I also get a response from the DNS server of my ISP when IE tries to resolve ips domains. Weird. I misunderstood the meaning of incoming connections or there is a huge security hole in windows firewall.

    Hi Semjon,

    This setting blocks all unsolicited attempts to connect to your computer. Use this setting when you need maximum protection for your computer, for example when you connect to a public network in a hotel or airport, or when a computer worm spreads on the Internet. With this setting, you are not notified when Windows Firewall blocks programs, and programs on the Exceptions list are ignored.

    When you select block all incoming connections, you can still view most Web pages, send and receive electronic mail and send and receive instant messages.
