Firewall doesnt work

Hello,

in the last few days everytime I reboot I got an message from Security Center that the ESS Firewall isn't activated. If I reboot three or more times after than that works fine. Its a generally problem from Eset-firewall? - Because I am ready to kick this software out of my window!

Windows XP Pro SP3
All updates installed

Thanks for answers,
aido

 

any errors or messages in event viewer logs?

No errors in the event log. This is my problem I am a little confused. I think this is an Eset-Problem.

Sorry for my bad english!

did you try reinstalling Eset? Do you have the latest version?

 

Oh yes sorry , next to Eset I have PrevX full version on my PC. I forgot to tell you last week that was the same problem but not with the Firewall instead of its was the Antivirus- and Antispyware deactivatet. After 3 x reboot solved the problem

 

No I work for some months with Eset. And yes I had before Eset installed McAfee. But Im sure the System is clean. All drivers and services was removed with autoruns.
In the last week I have updated my System over Windows update with the new security Updates from Microsoft.
When it passed with the anti-virus problem, I wrote to the support. They have me said I should delete the repository folder. After then the problem solved. And now that comes again. I cannot delete everytime if I got this problem, the repository folder. Its not the best solution.

I think I will uninstall PrevX first. If the problem doesnt comes again I will post here the solution or tell PrevX for the incompatibilities between Eset and PrevX.

Hello,

at first thanks @ronjor for your help
Now I have uninstalled PrevX and I think the problem was solved. It seems so, that during Startup scans PrevX the Startup programs and blocks shortly the Eset driver.
