Windows Firewall won't Start - SOLVED!!!

<< < (5/7) > >>

Wiloroc:
Back again finally.

Nothing has worked yet.  The latest version of tweaking did not cure the problem.

I tried the Microsoft troubleshooter.  It seems to find something but then cannot communicate it with the Microsoft servers.

Any more ideas?

Shane:
OK try this, I have seen some viruses change the permissions on the firewall service to where noting can change them back, not even the system. But there is a way to fix it.

So lets see if you are able to access anything under that service in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess

See if you are able to click on and read all the sub folders under it, let me know if you get any permission denied errors. :wink:

Wiloroc:
Ok,  Here are some screenshots of what I found.  I could access everything under sharedaccess.  Some had permissions that seemed funky - screen shots.

Let me know what you think

Shane:
MpsSvr shouldnt be listed in there, try removing that and reboot and see what happens :-)

Shane

Wiloroc:
No change.

Went through every sub folder in "shared access" to be sure it was removed.
