Windows Firewall turns is not on.

I just was struck with a virus attack that turns off Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Firewall, which makes it difficult to get rid of as neither would then switch on - delicate little * a virus. So I did a scan with Malwarebytes, which seems to have caught the virus (it found & removed 10 infections - although I never copied the names that could be useful) and I then uninstalled/reinstalled Microsoft Security Essentialls, which now seems to work. The problem is that when I open the Security Center and try to turn on the firewall, I get an error message saying "Due to an unidentified problem Windows can not display the firewall settings." How I solve this problem and get the firewall turned on?

Try this.

  • Windows Firewall turns off automatically.

    Windows Firewall turns off automatically at startup, sometimes. I use Trend Micro Internet Security and Windows Security Center. They both have a firewall. (1) I always here you can only have one firewall at the time, is why that Windows Firewall turns off sometimes? (2) if so, why only sometimes? (I don't have Windows OneCare.) (3) should I manually turn off the Windows Firewall and just use the Trend Micro firewall? (4) that I will protect? Please answer 4 questions.

    I'm sorry, I wasn't clear enough in my question. I'm not asking for possibly a recommendation on what AV I have to use. I know not if I have to choose only one I'll choose Trend Micro. I wanted to ask what is the right way to turn off the Windows Firewall and make sure it stays off. When I open the Windows Security Center it shows firewall as YOU, but she does not have an option to OFF.

    Start button > in the search box, type windows firewall > look up, click onWindows Firewall > in the left column, click turn on or off Windows Firewall > the rest is self-explanatory.

  • Windows Firewall service does not start after the removal of Virus

    Hello

    I believe that my son's computer has been infected with the Trojan.Agent.Ed virus.  I managed to remove it (from different folders in AppData), but a few vestiges remain of course.  The windows firewall service does not start - it throws an exception to access denied on startup and when I try to start the service manually.
    I tried to run the Sysinternals Process Monitor to display all events ACCESS DENIED and checked the permissions on the key to registry MpsSvc in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services and compared to a corresponding Windows 7 machine.  I've even exported the key MpsSvc and sous-branches of the laptop in good health and tried to import into a failure, but the import does not seem to occur, even if it gives a message "imported".
    I also tried the troubleshooting of Windows Firewall that confusedly says:
    "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall... Not fixed
    "Set permissions for the registry keys involved"... succeeded
    "Windows Firewall service is not started. Not fixed
    "Starting the Firewall Service"... succeeded
    Any ideas would be most appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • I have a problem with the Windows Firewall work is not on the computer.

    Original title: windows firewall does not work?

    Have a laptop (Dell Inspiron) it has a virus on it (the fbi one) and then after I got rid of him, found others. Trouble with turning on the firewall, this time no error just sits and circles around. Uninstalled anti-virus programs, then installed a new run malware and tried a few things online. Tried to copy the registry from a windows 7 to another, no change (bfi or something like that).

    Tried to repair and that has not worked yet.

    Is there anything like that, I can extract, or a .dll file that could fail to clear up this problem. Downloaded avast and computer seems to work quite well. I would like to fix without having to reinstall everything.

    Thanks, Bruce

    It can now work. I launch tdsskiller and what he said, restarted.

    I have green shields now, even if I'm running emisoft emergency kit and which shows a Trojan horse, a rootkit and a gen.varient as other programs didn't pick up before, I ran malware and 2 other anti-virus programs before tdsskiller. Even tried rkill.

    Thanks, Bruce

  • Windows Firewall/ICS will not start.

    Work on my aunts old Dell Dimension 3000 with XP Home Edition. She had downloaded about 5 to 6 cents free games and the 75g hard drive was full of 97% and I had to boot into safe mode and to sit and to uninstall programs for about 3 hours just to make it down to 83% full to do a Defrag. Its actually work very well now, but I know I have a lot of empty as much as * in the start menu. Also, McAfee trail period expired so I put Microsoft Security Essentials on it when I get the network card working. My main concern right now is to get the active windows firewall. Its a service does do not question, I'm sure. I'm used to Win7 64bits easy repairs, but did not do much with XP. I've run sfc.exe and msconfig set to normal. What to do next? Also, I find it odd the drive c does not list in the management of the computer, but is displayed in my computer. I heard Island what OS is on the partition of disk #0 #2? Is it just a thing of Dell?

    Also, McAfee trail period expired

    You should probably flatten and reinstall.  The fact that the system partition is #2 suggests that this particular Dell has a hidden restore partition.  Dell support site seems to have a lot of broken links at the moment, but in general:

    Reboot and when the Dell splash screen appears during the computer startup process, press and then press . Then release both keys at the same time. Which should help you in the PC Restore application where you have to follow the guests.

  • try to install Medal of Honor Airborne on 32-bit vista, and problems with the windows firewall starts do not.

    OK, im losing my mind.

    I bought a copy of airborne for my 32 bit vista system and found initially that I had to do a few tricks to install and play it like UN-installing ageia phys-x, it was simple enough. Well I have had since stopped playing it and would try to uninstall without result. I tried to fix it and using "C-cleaner.

    I went down some of the files, but I think that my registry is a little buggy so I tried blocking it with c cleaner, he sure found several errors and fixesd them.

    Well, I'm trying now to re - install MOHA and when I put the disc and click autorun the pre-start games window appears with the usual options, play, upgrade, site Web etc... I hit play, it does nothing. I tried to uninstall it from the disk and to halfway through she said "MOHA has not stopped the Installation Wizard prematurely try again later". I can't repair or uninstall or install. I read somewhere that it is a firewall with windows problem and if I run my firewall victory "which I have never on", this should work if the software is added to the 'green' list on the firewall.

    now I find that I can not get my firewall to start. I researched and found a few forums where people explained to the services command prompt and tried to 'start' several 'order' in there and firewall programs will not start giving me this error-windows cannot start service windows firewall. and the code of error-6801.

    I am a novice to tooling autour under the 'software' hood of PCs. I know a bit about the material and that's it. anyone has any ideas for me? otherwise I'm looking to another disorder vista install, I had a moment difficult, installation of the 1st hour and im not not looking forward to try it again...

    2. in all programs , click Windows Installer Cleanup; the Windows Installer Clean Up Utility window appears, listing the software currently installed on your computer.

    3. Select the game in the list, then click on Remove. If you have multiple files, delete all the.

If so back up your data and recording at least and then study the reg keys mentioned, so if it looks promising consider giving it a try.

    As I say, with corrections of reg, its best to back up your system, or at least your registry and important data first, just to play safe.

    Hello

    One thing you forgot to tell us that's what AntiVirus do you use?

    If you are using an Internet Security Suite, which uses its own firewall.

    And the Defender is not an Antivirus; It's only an antispyware software.

    You need an AntiVirus installed to protect your system.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    You say that you have a problem with the Defender.

    Read about Defender:

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    «Get the same error msg when I click on «change startup programs»

    How to change Vista startup programs without using Defender, use either of the following methods:

    "How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"

    Or the program Autoruns for FREE:
