The "due to an unidentified problem..." message.

[Guest]

I have recently scanned my computer with a virus checker and spyware remover
and it was full of spyware, now my connection isn't running as smoothly as it
used to and i can't seem to turn windows firewall on "due to an unidentified
problem." Why?

If you are sure the computer is clean:

"Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall
settings" error, try:
Start>Run regsvr32 hnetcfg.dll [enter]

You might want to check what you did to clean up your machine by looking
