General Computer Support / Re: Problems with starting Peerblock etc

Party!  I don't know what it was but combofix did the trick!

I do know it must of been something nasty because my computer froze during the combofix-scan, but after I rebooted everything seemed to be normal again. Peerblock, Base Filtering Engine, ... etc are working again.

Thanks a lot! I'd say I'll buy you a Belgian beer, but I guess my thanks will have to do it for now.

First of all: thanks for the quick reply. 

I have tested malwarebytes, as I mentioned, not tdsskiller.exe. I will give this a try right away.

General Computer Support / Problems with starting Peerblock etc

« on: November 07, 2012, 09:16:34 am »

So Peerblock has always worked for me, I have it on my notebook for over 2 years now, however three days ago I got this message:

One or more of the following Windows Services are not running:

- Base filtering engine
- IPsec Policy Agent
- IKE and AuthIP IPsec keyring modules

What I did:

Run services as administrator -> tried to start Base filtering engine, but get the message: "Cannot start Base Filtering Engine on     local computer. Error 5: access denied.

But since IPsec Policy agent and the other program mentioned above are dependable from BFE, I cannot start them either. So after this I started Malwarebytes to scan for any malware. It found 1 specific problem so I deleted it. After that I started Avast ( and did a fast system scan and although I had several blocking messages from avast itself, it didn't find anything unusual, so I repeated the first step (run services...), but with the exact same result.

Afterwards I did the Windows repair all-in-one and repeated the first step again but with the same result again.

Should I be worried that I have a virus on my notebook or not? Or does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

Thanks.
