A warning appears on the bottom right warning me that no firewall is enabled, even if the Windows Firewall is enabled.

See screenshot.

Hi SRD75,

Try clicking on start-> run, type &-> services.msc-> Ok.

Windows firewall-> right click-> Restart search.

Now, research center of security-> right click-> Restart.

I hope this helps.

  • Windows Firewall is blocking a program

    For some reason, the windows firewall does not do what I wanted to do. I blocked a dozen other programs before you access internet with good success using WF... except for this program a... little matter how much I try to configure the firewall, it seems are starting to show more of bugs and defects... so I have this free software that still has access to the internet and displays this annoying window with a large number of ads... (it's not malware because I scanned with malwarebytes... nor do I have a virus because I have avira and windows defender, fully implemented to update and regularly scans my pc..) So I disabled the program in Windows firewall so that she would not access the internet... but after running that software I can still see a connection being "established" by using tcp view... then I went t advance settings to create a firewall to block the program directly... in and out... but after reboot and rule control tcp view... sound still there... the connection is still established and bytes are packets or bytes are sent and received... so I check the firewall... in the window 'allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall' and saw that the program was unchecked... when I see it advance option... it clearly says its governed blocked and the rule is enabled.  So I went back to the "allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall" and not the program but when I went back to the ahead option my blocking rule found himself distraught... Is it really normal for the Windows Firewall to act like that? Is this a bug that when I disable something in advance options in that it ends up getting enabled "allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall?

    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

    You can disable individual startup items in a selective way and eventually found the culprit.  If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, go to control panel | Filtering options and disable indexing WinMail.  Also, if you have a mail gadget in the sidebar, remove this.  Antivirus software can also screw up things, seewww.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
