    I had some malware on my Pc which Kestrel13! helped me remove, Thanks Again!

    But now I just noticed that my Windows Firewall is GONE, simply missing from the services list and I am guessing this is far more complicated than simply adding the registry key back into the "CurrentControlSet"

    So anyhow, I have downloaded and run the Farbar Service Scanning tool and the output txt file is attached.
