I just got hit with a virus attack that turned off Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Firewall, which made it difficult to get rid of as neither would then turn on - tricky little **** of a virus. So I ran a scan with Malwarebytes which seems to
have caught the virus (it found &amp deleted 10 infections - although I ever copied the names which might have been helpful) and I then uninstalled/reinstalled Microsoft Security Essentialls which now seems to be working. The problem now is that when I open up
Security Centre and try to turn on the Firewall I get an error message saying &quotDue to an unidentified problem Windows cannot display Firewall Settings.&quot How does I fix this and get Firewall turned back on?
