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
Any help is appreciated.
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.
