Windows firewall issue after installing ESET (Just a surmise that it may be the reason why)


Recommended Posts

I'm not a native speaker of English so if there's any vague description please don't blame me😊


I used Pulse Secure to connect to VPN. My ESET expired few months ago and I remove it with the uninstaller provided by ESET Taiwan [1] (I'll put the link below). Everything works smoothly, and the VPN also works well. Few days ago I bought a new ESET key and reinstalled it. But I can't connect to my VPN anymore. I've tried every methods I could find via supporting community of Pulse Secure [2] (reinstall, running commends etc.). And I found a more serious issue, the firewall (0x8007042c), it is disabled but I can't enable it or fix it even after I uninstalled ESET completely. After trying some methods (fixing 0x8007042c), and non of them succeeded😭. I'm not sure whether ESET causes the firewall issue or not. (Hope it isn't, ESET is the best anti virus app I'd ever used)

My os is win10 BTW

Unfortunately you didn't mention what ESET product and version you have installed. Does temporarily uninstalling ESET make a difference?

Thanks for your reply, but none of the metodes are able to fix error 0x8007042c. Here's the result of running the .bat file a few days ago:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>c config MpsSvc start= auto

The tab closed immediately after running all commends so I can't see what the last line was. (need to click very fast : P). The result I got earlier today is the same.

This command is wrong. It should be:

sc config MpsSvc start= auto

Also, did you run the .bat script as admin; e.g. right button mouse click on the .bat file, then select "run as administrator?"

Have you tried to reset the Win firewall as noted in this article: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/reset-windows-firewall-settings .
