Hi amos,

 

Kindly check if the Base Filtering Services is running by follow the guide here. Installation cannot be done in Safe Mode as most of the required services would not be started.

 

Thanks.

Hi amos,

 

We would need a bit more informations to continue.

 

- Does the BFE service started and running?

- Your Windows OS is 32-bits or 64-bits?

- What is the exact error message?

- Download and run the EasyClean to ensure that your system is clean.

 

Thanks.

Hi amos,

 

Please try these steps:

1. Create a new user account with Administrator privilege.
2. Logon to new user created.
3. Test does the Windows Firewall and Windows Updates working.
4. If yes, download and run the F-Secure Uninstallation tool to clean up the F-Secure software / files from your computer. 

5. Ensure that all these Windows Updates is installed:

-  DotNet Framework 4.0.

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package.

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package.

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.

6. Reinstall the F-Secure Internet Security 2012 in the new user account.

 

Thanks.

Hi amos,

 

What is the error message when try to start the Windows Firewall and Windows Updates? Try to look in EventViewer & let us know what error code was generated.

 

Please check in Registry (Open regedit):

Do a backup of your registry before making any changes.

 

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Any unrecognised entry? Remove it.

 

- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\
Is there any entry listed? Remove it.

 

Thanks.

Hi amos,

 

1. Reset the HTTP proxy:
- Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Anvanced > Reset Internet Explorer Settings.

 

2. Change DNS IPs to Google DNS or Open DNS.
- Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4
- Open DNS: 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220

Thanks.
