XP / Firewall / Blocking Download / Installation
Dec 11, 2008
attempting to help a neighbor resolve a problem with his computer. Toshiba Notebook running XP SP3. He attemped to renew his Norton AntiVirus Subscription , download 2009 to update from 2008. He had Zonealarm running as a firewall on computer. Ran in to an issue with Norton install locking up. Contacted Norton via Web and opened a CHAT support session. Norton rep told him that 2009 wouldn�t work with Zone Alarm, and the rep proceeded to uninstall ZA. During uninstall encountered an error, rebooted to safe mode, went to command line and manually updated Registry , and deleted files (and didn�t backup Registry). Rebooted and AV still wouldn�t installed. Then the user lost Internet connection and lost support. I uninstalled Norton (using their Removal Tool) and internet came back. Attempted install of 2008 AV and install completed, but when attempting Live Update it failed and reported Internet Connection failure. Ran live update out side of app and it return error 1814 and failed. I�ve tried to clean up and remove any thing I can find in the Registry from Zone Alarm. All of Symantec apps and files have been removed from the computer. I attempted to download / install Uniblue Registry Booster 2009 from the web, and during the install it shows 1%, and then errors out with message, Downloading of Installation data from web has failed. Please makes you are connect to the Internet. I have confirmed that MS Firewall is turned off.

I tryed a firewall called Comodo. I was not impressed because I could not get it to allow alot of my apps access even after creating rules ect. I uninstalled it, which was a nightmare and took forever because their installer is bugged! anyway, I have gone through the Regedit and deleted all ref's to comodo, deleted the folders ect. Best as I can tell everythine has been removed. However I have programs, apps and games that used to access fine BEFORE installing Comodo that cant connect now! Should I do a reinstall of XP? or is there some other files that the firewall might of moded that can be replaced? Any thoughts or ideas? I have a post on the Comodo Forums, but after searching most of the day I have yet to find anyone with a problem like this after following the manuel uninstallation and I'm not to hopeful...

I use mIRC and I've given it full access in my Firewall Zone Alarm free edition settings, but whenever I try to join a server, GameSurge in this case, I get this error: This never used to happen with the older version of ZoneAlarm, but I'm assuming this version has bug fixes or improved stability over the older one so I'm reluctant to go back to it.

Upon rebooting, after installation of a new firewall, I denied access to a flurry of Windows access requests until I could find out what they were I am now worried that some or many, may have had something to do with the automatic Windows updates. Everything is working fine so far, but how can I check to see that I haven't missed any updates. If access was blocked, would they automatically be re-sent?I am still trying to identify all the processes in my firewall log that I
have marked to "Ask".Secondary, unrelated question, while cleaning up my system before this installation, I found 9MB of files in the TEMP folder under my D&S, LOCAL

From this afternoon, I've realized something as I attempt to run a Windows Live services installation. More specifically, I am installing Live Mail, Live Space, and Live Messenger and Sign-In Assistant. But when it attempts to download, the download always ends up half-way (e.g. Sign-In Assistant goes until 20%+ downloaded) and goes straight into installing, which failed as a result. I tried the whole afternoon fixing this, but the same thing happened

For several weeks now I haven't been able to download/update Windows updates. I have been working with Microsoft Tech Support (via the telephone)for several days now and we haven't been able to correct the problem(s). My question is... can I use the Windows Installation disk to "fix" any problems my machine is having with the downloads/updates? Is there a "fix" option on the Windows disk and am I at risk in using it? I don't want to lose anything on my desktop because it is the way I want it at this time.

Having a problem with the install of Service Pack 3. The update keeps picking it up but halfway through the install a popup appears to say " an additional download is needed to complete the installation.Install service pack 3 again " . Well I have installed 6 times now and the same happens every time, it doesn't say what the additional download is or where to get it from. I'm running XP which has been taking forever to start up up recently ( about 15 mins ) don't know if it's related or not?

I am using eTRust EZ firewall and just recently started having problems with it and the effect on my pc. First, it wouldn't let me select allow or ask under the access internet or trusted column under the program control. Now, it won't let me access the internet if the program control is turned to low, medium, or high. The only way for anything to get to the internet is if the setting is turned off

After booting up OK, any attempt to click on the Start button leads to a box appearing labelled RUNDLL. Within this box the letter 'r' is repeatedly and continuously printed. The box can be closed but the error recurs if the Start button is clicked again. At the same time there are intermittent 'bleeps' from the speakers, and clicking on ANY icon on the desktop opens only the recycle bin! If you try making a search with Google again the letter 'r' is repeatedly generated in the seach box.
Repeated scans with (updated) Norton Antivrus 2005 and with Ad-aware have not helped. Strangely, at some times the computer behaves completely normally.

I have noticed that I have supposedly installed Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474) several times today! I think thismay be because spybot is blocking a registry change called Winlogon something or other. Can anyone confirm this? In other words if I tell spybot to allow this will that stop updates from repeatedly trying to install the same thing?

I have a pretty simple inquiry. I was wanting to know if there are any non-essential things that I have running that I do not need (& that none of my installed programs need to run). I'm not positive if I need the stuff like O4 - Startup: DLHelperEXE.exe or stuff like O9 - Extra button: Wild Jack Poker - {17709D14-4A02-42c6-B9FA-18C90A851F51} - C:Program FileswildjackMPPMPPoker.exe so I want to double check with someone who knows. Please let me know if I have anything running or installed that is not neccessary.

My e-mail programme is a fully registered version of Incredimail. I recently installed the MacAfee 8.0.0 anti virus programme. Immediately thereafter I was unable to send any e-mails, although recieving any, presents no problem. Disabling MacAfee enables me to send as normal but leaves the computer unprotected whilst doing so. I have no problems sending mail via Yahoo, Netscape, Outlook Express, Opera or any other webmail I would imagine.Does this indicate that MacAfee is finding the Incredimail outgoing e-mail to be suspect and therefore blocking it? If this be the case I would be most grateful if anyone could proffer any comment and even more grateful should a solution be forthcoming

I'm working on a computer that is blocking internet access to IE and firefox. Looks to me like the owner attempted to clear things up but left some remnants of a hijacker I can't find. When I open IE I notice the info bar redirecting me to C:windows escan't make out the full path then I get the page cannot be displayed message.
To be very clear, I can send and recieve email, I can ping and get a response, and I can also get online and able to browse in safe mode. So the connection is not completely down. Only when I am logged into a user account does this happen. Here is a HJT log. I restored a backup so one of you may get a better feeling as to what is going on. I am aware of the trojan infection of services32.exe as well as a couple other hijackers. However, when I remove all the baddies I see there is still no internet..........

I know I am not the only one to have this issue, but have not seen a real fix.When our lab users try to save or open Hotmail attachments (Doc, PDF, XLS) recieve the error "Internet Explorer cannot download 94ea from 64.4.61.250. Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailiable or cannot be found.
