Multible firewalls report that they are open in security center!

[Guest NavChief84]

I have uninstalled a firewall (McAfee Security Center) and used the software

provided on its web site to completely remove from a system! I found the

solution somewhere before but can not find it and again it was just too

simple! If I found it in one of many computer Mags I have then I know someone

else as also! After looking all over the net many others have the same

problem with once removed security suite software, the only advice given is

to go into the registry (very bad advice I would say too many novices). I had

to reinstall to manufacture box after an update ruined things and had found

solution months ago before redo! Another Q how come turn on and up date

under installed firewall programs does not work? Thanks Ahead of time

Right-click Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Type the following

command:

 

winmgmt /salvagerepository

 

The first time you run this it will fail. It will issue stop commands to

the services causing it to fail. It might take a couple minutes for the

services to shut down. Run the command again and reboot your system.

 

If the above doesn't work, do the following from an elevated cmd prompt:

 

net stop winmgmt [enter]

cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem [enter]

ren repository repository.old [enter]

net start winmgmt [enter]

 

Don't know the answer to your last question because it isn't clear to me.

Please define "does not work".
