    Java Update!

    Please download the newest version of Java from Java.com.

    Before installing: it is important to remove older versions of Java since it does not do so automatically and old versions still leave you vulnerable.
    Go to the Control Panel and enter Add or Remove Programs (Programs and Features in Vista/7).
    Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Java. (J2SE Runtime Environment). Please uninstall/remove each of them.

    Once old versions are gone, please install the newest version.

    Tell me the errors reported...

    Firewall error code 0x80070424

    I have realised I cannot turn on my firewall and I get this error code. I have so far uninstalled AVG and installed microsoft security essentials and MBAM (free version) I have ran scans on both to find no sort of malware yet I still cannot turn on my firewall
  4. Jay Pfoutz Malware Helper Posts: 4,286   +49

    I doubt it has anything to do with malware.

    Download and save the zip file attached...extract its contents to reveal the REG file enclosed.

    Once extracted, double-click on the file and merge it in to the Registry.

    Reboot your computer. Let me know if the Firewall is working fine.

    I tried merging that registry file and it said error accessing the registry.
  6. Jay Pfoutz Malware Helper Posts: 4,286   +49

    Try again in Safe Mode, and let me know if it works.

    Back to this tool. Topic marked Active again. :)

    ComboFix

    Please download ComboFix[IMG] by sUBs
    From BleepingComputer.com

    Please save the file to your Desktop, but rename it first to svchost.exe

    Important information about ComboFix

    Before the download:
    • Please copy and paste these instructions to Notepad and save to your Desktop, or print them - for easier access.
    • It is important to rename ComboFix before the download.
    • Please do not rename ComboFix to other names, but only the one indicated.
    After the download:
    • Close any open browsers.
    • Very Important: Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results". Please visit here if you don't know how.
    • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
    • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until ComboFix has completely finished.
    • If there is no Internet connection after running ComboFix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
    Running ComboFix:
    • Double click on svchost.exe & follow the prompts.
    • It will attempt to install the Recovery Console:
    • When ComboFix finishes, it will produce a report for you.
    • Please post the "C:\Combo-Fix.txt" in your next reply.
    Troubleshooting ComboFix

    Safe Mode:

    If you still cannot get ComboFix to run, try booting into Safe Mode, and run it there.

    (To boot into Safe Mode, tap F8 after BIOS, and just before the Windows
    logo appears. A list of options will appear, select "Safe Mode.")

    Re-downloading:

    If this doesn't work either, try the same method (above method), but try to download it again, except name
    ComboFix.exe to iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, or winlogon.exe.

    Malware is known for blocking all "user" processes, except for its whitelist of system important processes such as iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, winlogon.exe.

    NOTE: If you encounter a message "illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion" and no programs will run - please just reboot and that will resolve that error.

    Here is what I got when I ran it and when it installed the recovery console:
    The contents of folder C:\Windows\Erdnt\Hiv-backup could not be completely deleted.
    Let it run for about an hour and a half and still the same getting stuck on stage 4. Closed it rebooted.
  10. Jay Pfoutz Malware Helper Posts: 4,286   +49

    Go to Start and type in ComboFix /uninstall and hit Enter.

    Then, try to download and run ComboFix again.
  11. BWashburn TechSpot Member Posts: 58

    Finally got it past stage 4!!! It's at stage 27 right now have been running it for 3 hours now. Will continue to let it run overnight (going to bed work in the am) will post soon as it finishes.

    Still same issue? I need to know any other issues that are plaguing your computer. Kindly give a summary so we know how to continue from here.

    Many of the things to note for us would be:

    • Slow computer
    • Error messages
    • Fake antivirus alerts or the icon in the system tray
    • svchost.exe running at 100%
    • System crashes or blue screen of death

    I still was not able to turn on my firewall. I don't get the error message anymore but when I click turn on firewall nothing happens.
  15. Jay Pfoutz Malware Helper Posts: 4,286   +49

    Method 1: Diagnose and fix Windows Firewall service problems automatically

    Method 2: How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7
    Note: It may ask for windows DVD to fix and to enable SFC to make more than minor repairs. Some files saved on your computer might get deleted when fixing corrupted files.

    You can use the Windows Repair Tool to automate it.

    Method 3: Fix: Windows 7 or Vista Firewall Fails To Start At Startup

    Method 4: Please run "services.msc", stop "Windows Event Controller" service first, then make sure "Base Filtering Engine" service is started.
    In the Start Menu type devmgmt.msc, and open Device Manager. On the View tab, choose "Devices by connection" and put a check next to "Show hidden devices". Look for Windows Firewall Authorization Driver (it will have a gold gear icon).Double-click that, and on the Driver tab, make sure the Startup type is set to "Demand".
    Then start "Windows Firewall" service, and check if the issue gets resolved.

    Let me know if any of the above methods worked, and if you can start Windows Firewall.

    Please download OTL to your Desktop. (If you already have it downloaded, then just follow the instructions below).
    • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
    • Copy the following code and under the Custom Scans/Fixes box paste this in :

    • Click the None button and then the Run Scan button. The scan wont take long.
      • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
      • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) and paste (Edit->Paste) the contents of these files, one at a time
    Note: in the event that OTL fails to run, please use alternate download links to try again:
