I have the same problem, but fixit isn't working when I download and try to run (either the online or portable version). I had a virus, but apparently this firewall setting is one of the leftovers? I used all microsoft products to block and remove it (on the phone with microsoft support). What is next?

Thank you so much. I had been oing insane trying to find the fix for this. Somehow I lost the ability to share my printer and then I could not turn on the firewall and this was the fix. Still not sure how it happened.

Hi, I have this problem too. Running Windows 7 and I first tried the Windows site version and where they said to click on "Windows Firewall" it is not present in the list. When I tried your version and get to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BFE", I have no "BFE" I had the same problem that someone else here did that my virus protection detected Trogens being downloaded to my computer and it removed them, maybe removing some of my data for the Windows Firewall. Is there a fix for this so I can get my Firewall back up? Thanks
