I Always get Firewall is turned off messages and McAfee says, My Computer is at risk. I have serach net but wasnt able to fix it. I am unable to see these two services BFE (Base Filtering Engine)
service & Windows Firewall service are running in Services.
Can someone please help me out in this regard?
Thanks
Ranjith.
Hi Ranjith.
Please check what is the start up type for both the McAfee Firewall services. Make sure they are in Automatic. If any of them is disabled, try to go into its properties and make it to Automatic. Hope that works. Let know if you are not able to change the Start up type from disabled to Automatic.

Thanks Kris for your reply,
I tried the above steps but couldnt start the McAfee personal firewall service. Please find attached FYR.
It would be great help if you could please let me know the other work around for the same.
Hi Ranjith,
Please re-install McAfee.
Use the following link for assistance.

That must fix the issue.
Confirm that Windows Firewall and Base Filter Engine are working fine after removing McAfee and then proceed with installing McAfee again.
