Windows Firewall not working
Hi I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and my windows firewall will not work. I just click use recommended settings and it freezes for a while and then does nothing. I have tried Microsoft fix-its, registry fixes, and have been researching and trying methods all day, none have worked. The firewall service has not been started and when I try and start it it gives me an error of "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall on Local Computer. For more information, review System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 5.". I recently uninstalled and removed AVG Internet Security and have used the remover they provide. Thanks
