Before we look into further fixes for the firewall service could you run MBAM and SAS to make sure a remnant of malware is blocking the reset
Please download
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.
And
Download Superantispyware
Please download
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.- Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
- Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application or, if you are using Vista, right-click and select Run As Administrator on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
- When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
- When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
- Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
- Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
- Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
- Then click Finish.
- MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan. If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
If MBAM won't update then download and update MBAM on a clean computer then save the rules.ref folder to a memory stick. This file is found here: 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware' then transfer it across to the infected computer. - On the Scanner tab:
- Make sure the "Perform Full Scan" option is selected.
- Then click on the Scan button.
- Make sure the "Perform Full Scan" option is selected.
- If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
- The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
- When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
- Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.
- Back at the main Scanner screen, click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
- Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
- When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
- The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
- Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.
And
Download Superantispyware
- Load Superantispyware and click the check for updates button.
- Once the update is finished click the scan your computer button.
- Check Perform Complete Scan and then next.
- Superantispyware will now scan your computer and when its finished it will list all the infections it has found.
- Make sure that they all have a check next to them and press next.
- Click finish and you will be taken back to the main interface.
- Click Preferences and then click the statistics/logs tab. Click the dated log and press view log and a text file will appear.
- Copy and paste the log onto the forum.

They are both malware-free. Please uninstall Webroot and install a different antivirus, just for testing a free version such as Avast or Antivir are good, and then try and start the firewall.

I believe that this is beyond repair now, mcrugger.
Please back up your files and reinstall the operating system. I'm sorry I couldn't get your system back to full working order on this occasion.
Do you have any questions for me?

Drats. How do I go about doing that? I have the hard drive from my old computer I could use, but I don't know if I have the Windows 7 disk my computer came with.

Okay, you shouldn't need a disk but you need a way to back up your files. a CD-ROM, an external hardrive or a USB works well. Insert the media and transfer the files to the media's storage folder. Let me know if you need more help with this.

An alternative to this (and if you are unsure of reinstallation it may be safer) would be to leave the Windows firewall disabled and download and install a free third party firewall.
Here are some good free recommended firewalls to choose from:

You can reinstall Windows 7 using Recovery in Control Panel, under Advanced recovery methods. This method reinstalls Windows 7, either from a recovery image provided by your computer manufacturer, or from your original Windows 7 installation files. You need to reinstall all of the programs that you added, and restore all of your files from a backup.
