Re: Windows Firewall

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



From: "ChrisS" <ChrisS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| Windows XP, SP2
| I am experiencing difficulty with Internet access which has got very slow
| over the last few days.
| Windows security alert reports Firewall is off; Windows Firewall in Control
| panel says 'Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the
| associated service is not runing'; so Windows will not allow me to enable
| Windows Firewall even through Control Panel.
| I also can't access Internet Options at all through Control panel; it was
| saying 'system administrator has denied access'; I am the system
| administrator presumably. Internet Options icon has now disappeared
| altogether from Control panel.
| Network Connections folder in Control panel is also empty.
| All was normal up to four days ago. I have AVG antivirus.
| Anyone got any suggestions how I can regain control?
