Hey all, im using Nod 32 (latest virus signatures) and i ran a exe which nod came up as "uninfected" and as soon as i ran it my windows firewall turned off and i cant turn it back on, im using zone now, but id rather not have a virus on there keeping the firewall off. Does anyone know of this problem and how to fix it?
Cheers

Hello there.

I have a few questions before I can better help you:
What is that program that you ran? What do you mean by "zone"? Do you get an error message when trying to turn on Windows Firewall?

sorry, i mean zone alarm..
i ran a keygen i downloaded, it came up as clean.
if i try and enable the firewall through control panel i get
"Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display the Windows Firewall settings"
i tried running pcpitstop's online scan on all my HDD's and they came out clean, NOD32 detected nothing. and now after I reset, my 1st network card doesnt work (i still get a connection light on the actual card) but windows doesnt detect it anymore.
Cheers


Link Removed so no one go's on it - Bugsey.

The keygen will be your problem, they are notorious for having trojans in them. As they are for used for the illegal registration of software, I cannot help you as it's against forum rules...

well i knew the keygen was my problem, i knew that cause as soon as i ran it thats when things messed up.

Can you upload that keygen up onto Jotti?
