My problem jsut started yesterday. I openned my computer and it was saying that windows firewall is not turned on. When I tried to turn it on it was saying that it can't find it. I tried going online to look for help, like typing in netsh wiscok reset and going to admin tool-service-windows firewall/ics, but it did not work. Some one online said that I might have malware on my computer, but I used the windows pc scan and it came up with nothing. so I don't know what to do or how to get the firewall running OR if I do have malware. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.1 person needs an answerI do too

To start with if there is ever a question of malware being on your pc, you should use a different scanner than what you have installed also. try using one or more of the ones below and scanning your system. then when your sure that your system is clean, go back to the services console and check to make sure that "Windows Management Instrumentaion" is also on, if not then right click it and choose "Properties" then set the dropdown menu to "Automatic" then on the left click "Start". then check the "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing" also, make sure that those two or running, in that order. if they are already and your still not able to open Windows Firewall, then post back here ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Portable scanners DrWebCureIT http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/?lng=en Normans Malware Cleaner http://norman.com/support/support_tools/58732/en-us Vipre Rescue Program http://live.sunbeltsoftware.com/ Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/avptool2010?level=2 Dennis ,, Owner: Please dont forget to mark any post(s) that helped as helpful or answered EMAIL ME:: PERSONAL EMAIL :: BUSINESS EMAIL
