Sorry, that's my mistake. The 3 services are listed as:
Base Filtering Engine - should be started & automatic
Windows Firewall - should be started & automatic
Internet Connection Sharing - should be listed, doesn't need to be started.

the only one i have is ICS. the other 3 are gone. it wont let me start ICS because it says its set to be deleted or does not exsist.

BMJ, are you sure your computer is viruses free or has someone on the forum helped you remove them? I can probably get Windows Firewall up and running again, but it makes no sense to go thru it if you're still infected.

Ive used AVG and it came up with some stuff from torrents that were false positives. but i removed them anyways. and i ran a registry cleaner from cnet and that had 260 some odd errors that i cleared up. so as far as what programs i have theyre telling me that im clean.

@ztrucker i started a topic on the geekstogo and im waiting for them to get to mine. started the thread when you had first posted it.

See if they find anything else malicious on your computer and once you're sure you're clean, post back here and we'll work on the firewall stuff. Also, it's a good idea to stay away from registry cleaners, they'll do more harm than good.
