I have been getting an error over the past few days with the Firewall stopping & it seems to be related to the MPSSVC not working correctly Does anyone know of a related problem & the workaround? I have tried restarting it & attempted the Hotfix (which doesn't actually run by the way) Is it possible to update the MPSSVC file? Paul BearparkPaul Bearpark

Hi, Can you provide the exact symptom? Why is it related to MPSSVC, any error message? System restore could be under consideration if you can name certain software\hardware change. Please launch services.msc and start windows firewall services. If you have other security software, please disable it as a test. Launch event viewer to find more information.
