Hello!
I recently bought an Intel 520 240GB SSD. I installed it in my PC, removed the SATA cable of my old HDD and then booted the computer.
After that I activated AHCI in BIOS and installed Windows 7 professional x64 on my new SSD.
Then I followed all steps in the following guide:
Guide Advanced User Windows 7 Complete Installation Guide For SSD's (for normal use most of these tweaks are NOT needed.
Shut down my PC and plugged in the old HDD again, booted from my SSD and formatted the HDD. And now I am using it for storage.
Just writing all this down because maybe I have done something wrong.
Okay to my problem. When I booted my PC and start browsing the internet I noticed that everything was extremely slow. But no one else is downloading/streaming so it should work fine. That's when I noticed my firewall was OFF. I tried to turn it on again but the window froze, I waited for about one minute and then the following error message appeared:
"Windows Firewall can't change some of your settings. Error code 0x8007042c"
This has happened some times now.
My first thought was that I had a virus, but that would be strange because I had installed windows only hours earlier, and I did not visit any suspicious sites.
All windows updated were installed and drivers installed etc. And Avast! Antivirus was one of the first programs I installed.
I have scanned my computer with Avast and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware several times. Both quick and full scans, but nothing was found.
When I restart my computer the firewall is often on again and browsing the internet is now fast again.
But next time I boot it up, the firewall could be off again, and internet browsing is slow.
I would Really appreciate some help with this issue.
Thank you in advance!
