Windows 7: base filtering engine BFE deleted

HI all,

My BFE service Base Filtering Engine has been deleted by a nasty installer or whatever...

how can i manually reinstall the BFE service without a full reinstall ?
i don't have any system restore point available (never need this sh##ty feature in the past)
Windows 7 x64



BFE service does not appear anymore in the "local service"
service has been deleted!

thanks

Bet you wished you had that "shity" feature now don't you.
Could have saved you.

i wish that you have more interesting things to do than post a useless comment
now, to santa
i wish :
- Windows 7 would not be so damn-vulnerable
- i had this damn-restore point
- PC games would be 100% damn-available under ubuntu

HOHOOHOO

@myg: If you are still having trouble, try:
1) Reinstall from DVD as "upgrade". That might reinstall your BFE. Repair Install
2) Repair Computer - from Boot CD or by repeatedly pressing F8 on boot
3) Start CMD (Accessories, Right-Click, Run as Admin) and run sfc /scannow - that might repair/replace BFE

Or maybe logicearth has you sorted out on a different thread.

Good Luck!

Well, #1 isn't really possible if you aren't running as admin, so we will ignore that for now. #2 should be available unless you've disabled the feature (or used a non VSS-aware defrag app excessively), but it's probably not worth discussing at this point either. #3 will be possible once Linux libraries and desktop environments stabilize and become widespread in use, but that will make Linux an attractive target for nasty code, bringing us full circle .
