So Peerblock has always worked for me, I have it on my notebook for over 2 years now, however three days ago I got this message:
One or more of the following Windows Services are not running:
- Base filtering engine
- IPsec Policy Agent
- IKE and AuthIP IPsec keyring modules
What I did:Run services as administrator -> tried to start Base filtering engine, but get the message: "Cannot start Base Filtering Engine on local computer. Error 5: access denied.
But since IPsec Policy agent and the other program mentioned above are dependable from BFE, I cannot start them either. So after this I started Malwarebytes to scan for any malware. It found 1 specific problem so I deleted it. After that I started Avast ( and did a fast system scan and although I had several blocking messages from avast itself, it didn't find anything unusual, so I repeated the first step (run services...), but with the exact same result.
Afterwards I did the Windows repair all-in-one and repeated the first step again but with the same result again.
Should I be worried that I have a virus on my notebook or not? Or does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
Thanks.
