Windows Firewall/Internet connection problems

Recently, a problem came with my Windows Firewall. I don't know what caused the change, but I'll be surfing the internet very well, when a small bubble appears in my task bar that says: "your computer may be at risk. No firewall is turned on. "This has happened in the past, but when I clicked on the bubble to check before, my firewall is activated, so I simply rejected it. However, just a couple of days I noticed that when this bubble came, my internet connection would fail temporarily. So, when I saw the notice again once my firewall was not turned on, I checked. It seems that Windows Firewall turns itself off tension. I have no idea why he would do this. I manually turned it on again several times, but still it does.

I run Windows XP Media Center Edition and (to my knowledge) have all the service packs/updates.

Well, I asked a friend gifted in computer science, he suggests Spybot. I downloaded spybot, scanned my computer and found a Windows Firewall security override in my registry. Deleted Spybot, and now all is well again. This is a very quick and easy solution.

I can do the most sophisticated malware cleaning below to another date, when it is more convenient for me.

  • 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.

  • Windows Update, in particular, is the cause the internet connection problem? Why Microsoft is not the problem?

    Twice in the space of a few days our internet connection has been disabled. System Restore solve the problem - temporarily. It would be good to know exactly which file is causing the problem.

    I applied all the updates of Windows 7 on 5 computers and encountered no problems.  You use McAfee antivirus by chance?  There was an update for that because of the problems of Internet access for some.  Check with McAfee, if you use that.

    Good luck.

  • Internet connection problem; A few days ago, my computer (Windows 7 OS) stopped connecting to the internet. DNS

    A few days ago, my computer (Windows 7 OS) stopped connecting to the internet. When I troubleshooted, it produces an error of "your computer seems to be configured correctly, but the device or resource (DNS server) does not. I Googled it and tried a lot of things that have been suggested - flushing the DNS, reseting the TCP/IP, etc... None of them worked. At the end of the day, I did a restore of the system to a restore point a few days before starting my computer having these problems and then it started working again. But whenever I have to stop and restart my computer, the problem happens again. Any help as to what could be the problem or how I can fix this problem would be much appreciated!

    You have McAfee? McAfee has been updated at the same time as the last batch of updates from Windows 7 and this is the cause of problems of internet connection for most, if not all, users of McAfee.

    See the communication from this "criticism" - McAfee

    Some customers may experience a loss of network connectivity and/or errors in McAfee Security Center after a recent update

    You should make the fix McAfee, if necessary. There are corresponding communications for their enterprise products.

    Hi paulrhea,
     
    -What version of the operating system are you using?
    -You are able to go online with no problems?
    -Have you been able to use the Messenger without any problem before?
     
    If you use Windows 7 or Windows Vista, follow the suggestion given here.
     
    Try to disable the firewall for the moment and check if it helps fix the problem.
     

    If the problem is resolved, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the program for the settings that can be changed or if there are other updates for this program.

    Note: Firewall can keep the computer worm, pirates etc. Therefore, be sure to turn on the firewall once you are finished with the test.

    If it is Windows Firewall, see the article below:
