[windows vista firewall]

Did you run the removal tool?

Yes I did

Thanks for all the suggestions on this.

1.I'm running Windows Vista.

2.I've done a full scan using malwarebytes-zero reported.

3.I carried out a full norton removal at the time of installing Avast.

4.Windows Security Center reports- firewall switched off -before loading IE or Firefox.i re-instate it & then same again on next re-start. wasn't sure what Humpty meant on Services set to automatic?

5.Event Manager Audit does not report errors 5025,5029 or 5030-the ones that Microsoft highlights in its Tech Center docs.

 

I've not used hijackthis log before.Are there any risks? Also how do I locate the log for it to analyse?

If I conduct a registry clean on CCCleaner-which checkbox should I concentrate on?

Are you meaning that your firewall is turning itself off? If so, that is odd.

yes I then re-instate it and next timeI boot up it's switched off again

Hi there,

Apologies for an old chestnut.For the last month my Windows firewall is dropping on start-up.

I've tried everything to resolve.My anti virus is Avast-this has no firewall.I removed all traces of Norton.have run malwarebytes-nothing reporting.Secunia similarly reported no problems.

Now using cc cleaner-before i run the registry cleaner-is there anything i should be looking for here that could eradicate this problem.

 

Thanks
