Firewall

[SweetRosie]

Hello and thank you for your help in advance :)

Recently every time I boot my system I get a pop-up from the Secunity Center Alerting me that my computer might be at risk that my firewall was off. so I turn on my firewall on, but I have to perform this each time I boot my system. I have not installed any software so I am not sure whats going on. I have tried to restore windows firewall settings to a default state, But that did not work. Now I need help cause I have no ideal on what to do.

system Specs:

Manufacturer: Hewlett-packard
Model: Hp compaq dc5800 microtower
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
CPU/Ram: 2.66 GHz / 3567 MB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
Sound Card: SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio

I also have the DDS text information below and the attachements for the zip attach file and the "ark.txt file. Hope you can help me with this problem, again thank you in advance for your help and I hope you have a nice day.

Hello SweetRosie,

I'm not seeing any malware. Let's see if an online scan reveals anything.

Go here to run an online scannner from ESET.

• Note: You will need to use Internet explorer for this scan
• Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan
• Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
• Click Start
• When asked, allow the activex control to install
• Click Start
• Make sure that the option Remove found threats is unticked, and the option Scan unwanted applications is checked
• Click Scan
• Wait for the scan to finish
• Use notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\Eset\Eset Online Scanner\log.txt
• Copy and paste that log as a reply to this topic.

Hi. Still not seeing any malware.

You first posted about this issue on 8/11/09 in the Windows XP section. Do you recall when this problem first started? Was is around that date or earlier?

RP170: 8/12/2009 1:53:52 PM - Removed Fix-It Utilities 9 Professional
RP172: 8/13/2009 9:54:17 AM - virus

The above are excerpts from your Attach.txt and are System Restore points that were set. What did you mean when you entered the description of 'virus'? Did onboard tools detect something? If so, what was it?

I see you removed Fix-It Utilities soon after you first posted. Do you recall if your problem with the firewall began after running Fix-It Utilities to 'optimize' your system?

[SweetRosie]

Not sure when the problem started,but I think it was after I installed Fix-It utilities....I have always used Fix-It @ least 6 years now and I have never had any problem. But I did remove Fix-it at he request (?) not sure the name of Assistant manager. I think the virus was from a program named Error fix so I removed it.

[Ried]

I'm going to need more detail from you, as much as you can recall. I did read your other thread, so no need to go over all that again.

What did you do with Fix It Utilities? What options did you use? Did you use any of it's optimization tools such as a registry cleaner? Do you still see a folder for it in C:\Program Files?

What virus was it? What program or tool detected it? How did you remove it?

[SweetRosie]

That was all? Just MyWebSearch and FunWebProducts? Nothing else was detected or removed by your onboard Anti Virus program?

sorry that it has taken me so long to reply but something came up and had to leave for a few days....And yes Ried, Mywebsearch and funwebproducts was detected.

[Ried]

Hi, welcome back. :)

While those are certainly nuisance adware, they would not have messed with your Firewall, nor would their removal have caused this. I suspect FixIt Utilities did some damage to it somehow, likely through one of their system 'optimization' utilities.

Let's see if this will set things right. Download Dial-A-Fix.zip to your desktop.

• Double click the folder and extract the files.
  
• Double click on Dial-A-Fix.exe to launch the tool
  
• Toward the bottom, you'll see an icon of a hammer, click that.
  
• In the list that is displayed, select Reinstall Windows Firewall and click GO.

Let me know how that worked out for you.

[SweetRosie]

I tryed to download dial-a-fix.zip....But I get this pop-up that reads Server not found.

[Ried]

It's working for me. Where did you try to download it from? On the page I linked you to, it's toward the top just under the gray box that mentions it is Beta version. Look just below that and you'll see 'skip to download section'. Click that.

[SweetRosie]

I did the dial-a-fix, but I am still having the problem.

[Ried]

Then I suggest you return to your original thread in the Windows XP Support section and have them guide you from here.

[SweetRosie]

I re-post my problem the same day that you suggested about my firewall problem wich was on 10/26/09 and I have not gotten any reply.

[Ried]

You began a new thread instead of continuing in your existing thread here --> Firewall

I've merged all three of the threads you had going over there.


If no one replies, I'd say no one has any other ideas for you. Try a repair install of Windows XP. Follow the guide here --> http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winx...tallguides.htm
