windows 8 firewall problems caused by bitcoin miner trojan

<< < (10/10)

There're a number of files in the WR log file folder. There's always the usual WR log file. (That's the one you attached to a previous post) But when some commands, used by WR, generate one or more other errors then those errors will show up in other, additional log files, located in that folder as well. These errors won't show up in the standard WR log file.

Do you have one or more of those additional files ? If so, then take all the files that have "_services_" in the name (!!!) of the files and attach them to your next post.

If you don't have two or more files, as described above, then I would assume your Firewall is back to normal. Is your Firewall, after running "Repair WMI", "Repair Firewall" & "Restore Important Services" now back to normal ?

yeah theres no other file there.  I downloaded Skype for Windows 8 in the store and it works fine.  Thanks very much the problem seems to be resolved.  Thanks for you time and help.  However there does seem to be a problem with some other apps downloaded from the store but they are non-essential things like a journey planner or something like that.  When I load them it just goes off the screen and back to the Windows App panel, if I click on it again the same thing happens the load page sflashes up but the automaticlly changes back to the app page.  But these things are not important things to me - maybe it is a different problem.  The main thing is that the firewall seems to be fixed and its allowing Skype to run.  Thanks

Shane:
Good to hear the firewall is working again.

Was it the new version of the Windows repair or something else that got it working?

It was the new version  of Windows Repair.  Thanks very much for that!

Shane:
Excellent :-)
