Vista - Windows Firewall problem on Home Premium

11-16-2008

Hi,

I have this windows firewall problem started when I uninstalled the Onecare
live. I also ran the OnecareCleanup. Previously I can't see the WF in the
services, after some try in the registry I was able to see the WF running in
the services but I can't turn it ON. Also when I try right click and
properties in the services to run it manually I got an error " Configuration
Manager: The specified device instance handle does not correspond to a
present device". And when I start manually another warning message "The
WF/(ICS) service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services
stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs." Pls
help me to figure this out...I have AVG 8 internet security running. Thanks.

AVG Internet Security has its own firewall which disables the built-in
Windows Firewall. Your system is working as designed.

Thanks for the reply but how to activate the built-in windows firewall with
out sacrificing my AVG? Or Can I just disable my AVG and activates my Windows
firewall?

You can have one or the other but not both.

If you want Windows Firewall, disable the AVG firewall.
