    BAse Filtering Engine Access Denied Error 5

    So recently I have been fighting this (assumed) virus on my computer with no luck. I tried to repair the PC by granting ‘Everyone’ administrative permissions to the BFE service it worked partially but I couldnt turn my firewall back on even after doing that. I think My OS got corrupted as well. I tried to Factory Reset my computer but wanted to keep my files. That, too, worked partially. Now I am back to square one with it being turned off again along with the firewall. By the way I had avast on my computer before all of this. I would let avast run an offline scan that showed some files on my PC were “decompression bombs”. I have since removed Avast and just rely on Windows Security.

    Today, in safe mode, I typed in elevated cmd

    Code:
    takeown /S mycomputername /U %username% /F %USERPROFILE% /R /SKIPSL. This worked.
    
    I then tried cacls %USERPROFILE% /T /E /G %USERNAME%:F. This still gave Access Denied after.
    
    I typed:
    
    sc queryex bfe, It returned:
    
    SERVICE_NAME: bfe
    
    TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
    
    STATE : 1 STOPPED
    
    WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 5 (0x5)
    
    SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
    
    CHECKPOINT : 0x0
    
    WAIT_HINT : 0x0
    
    PID : 0
    
    FLAGS :
    
    It’s Dependencies Says RPC and a host of other services depend on this service including Windows Firewall which is also malfunctioning (won’t start).
    Any help is appreciated.

      Can you move FRST to your desktop, and then boot into normal mode and run the tool please. Attach both logs, I’d rather not have it copy and pasted.




      Download and unzip farbar service scanner to your desktop, check all boxes and hit scan.
      Post the log created.

        Hello!

        I got lost on the “make sure that every item listed in the different tabs is checked and click on” part. The Log FIles Tab says AdwCleaner.txt do I check that as well or do I leave everything else default in the other tabs?

                        If I remember correctly this is a application that repairs Microsoft Office issues. I do not know what the sarabat.bat is though or why my desktop.ini file is visible

                              Ok.
                              Let’s do this…


                              FRST Fix.

                              Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop. NOTE. It’s important that both files, FRST/FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work. NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system Run FRST/FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run. When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post it to your reply.




                              Step2:
                              ZHP cleaner Scan.
                              Please download Zhp Cleaner to your desktop. Right Click the icon and select run as administrator.
                              Once you have started the program, you will need to click the scanner button.
                              The program will close all open browsers!
                              Once the scan is completed, the you will want to click the Repair button.
                              At the end of the process you may be asked to reboot your machine.
                              After you reboot a report will open on your desktop.
                              Attach the report here in your next reply.



                              Step 3:
                              ZHP Diag Scan Click here to download.
                              Save to your desktop.
                              Right Click Run as Admin.
                              Click the Options button.
                              Click on Check All
                              Then click close.
                              Click the Scanner button.
                              When complete please push the report button.
                              A notepad will open… attach the report in your next reply.




                              As far as adware cleaner, right click run as admin, if nothing is found then run the basic repair.
