firewall not working after initial upgrade install

I upgraded from the free version and upon restart the blue screen of death appeared. I restarted in safe mode with “use last good configuration”, started OK but the firewall will not start?? I’m not tech savvy, so please keep any responces easy enough for a block head to understand ;D

Try repair AIS. :wink: Don,t forget restart your PC when you done. :smiley:
