Windows Firewall and BFE.dll won't load-Had Win 7 Security 2012 w/Google redirect too

Re: Windows Firewall and BFE.dll won't load-Had Win 7 Security 2012 w/Google redirect

Trust me, I understand. I really wanted to make this right for you. The ERUNT instructions would have been a revert in registry to a previous date which I think would have at least fixed your internet so then we could just focus on the firewall again.

Glad to hear it.

No problem. This was a new one and aims to break the Windows 7 Firewall, which it has done successfully in multiple threads we are seeing now. Just take a look at the front page of MajorGeeks malware removal forum.

Of course.

Yes, rerun the Read and Run Me procedure.
All of those scans do registry scanning to some extent.
Chaslang has updated MGtools to scan for the firewall registry entries so make sure you download the latest version.

You're welcome.

Here are my latest logs. I think Malwarebytes found a couple bad registry keys, otherwise I don't think there were any issues.

Please let me know if there's anything I should do next (everything seems to be working fine).

Clean as a whistle

The only thing I would recommend is downloading and installing the latest version of Java SE >> Download jre-7u2-windows-x64.exe

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis if it present
8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
   related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
     for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
10. After doing the above, you should work through the below link:

Re: Windows Firewall and BFE.dll won't load-Had Win 7 Security 2012 w/Google redirect

I installed the latest Java SE, and ran MGclean.bat. I also deleted the reg patches. However, I moved ComboFix to a temp folder to be deleted (without realizing it had an uninstall program). Is there a way to manually uninstall ComboFix?

 

Re: Windows Firewall and BFE.dll won't load-Had Win 7 Security 2012 w/Google redirect

It would be best to download ComboFix.exe again. Save it to your desktop.

Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
"%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall

Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.

 

Re: Windows Firewall and BFE.dll won't load-Had Win 7 Security 2012 w/Google redirect

I tried that... I ran ComboFix... then tried the uninstall option... it started running ComboFix again.

 

Re: Windows Firewall and BFE.dll won't load-Had Win 7 Security 2012 w/Google redirect

It opens ComboFix but it's not actually going to scan again if you used the /uninstall switch.

You will get a message like the below:

Re: Windows Firewall and BFE.dll won't load-Had Win 7 Security 2012 w/Google redirect

OK, I did all that and ComboFix is now uninstalled. I also deleted all the programs and temporary files we used, plus I created a new restore point.

My computer is working great now. I can't thank you enough for all of your help... and especially your patience!
