Are the Windows Firewall service and the Base Filtering Service set to use the Local Service account?

hi matt, yes the windows firewall service and the base filtering service are set to local service account..

 

I just edited the MpssVc registry, but still doesn't work. It shows a new error:

 

Windows could not start the windows firewall on local computer.

for more information, review the system event lof. if this is a

non-microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to

service-specific errror code 5

 

Had tried also SFC /scannow but still unable to start the service.

 

any ideas? please help.. Thanks.. :thumbsup:
