Firewall won't start

system · 2016-12-31T12:14:37.000Z

Hi everyone,

I’m having trouble with my Avast IS for some tme now. It just won’t start the firewall. It simply posts a message saying: Unable to start firewall.
I’m running Windows XP SP3.

I would appreciate any help on this.

What exact avast version ?
Already performed a repair of avast ?
Already performed a clean installation of avast ?
Is there any other security (related) software installed ? (or was there)

In addition to Eddy’s questions. Is the windows firewall disabled?
