Anyway, after doing all this, I reinstalled mcafee fresh, and no change. so I completely removed it and even used mcafee's removal tool to make sure it was all gone, and I may have even looked in the registry and zapped any remaining mcafee keys-I don't remember or sure, as this was several months ago when this all started. When I discovered all of this happening, I first reinstalled mcafee. I press the 'use recommended settings' button, and it responds with the following error message: 'windows firewall can't change some of your settings error code 0x80070424'
it has a red bar and says 'update your firewall settings' and 'windows is not using the recommended settings to protect your computer'. Then there is also a problem I have if I try to use 'windows firewall' in the windows control panel to turn on the firewall from there. checking windows logs shows repeated error log entries 'The McAfee Personal Firewall service depends the following service: MpsSvc' that correspond to each time I tried to turn it on. pressing the turn on button momentarily changes the indicator to on, and then it immediately turns off again. I click on 'view firewall and anti-spam settings' and it says firewall is on, I then click on 'firewall' and it says firewall is off, with a 'turn on' button.
More specifically, the mcafee total protection portal shows firewall is on. (It is possible that we were socially engineered into running a fake Adobe installer on one or two occasions which could definitely led to the infection.)
in my attempts to fix things, I tried to turn it on, but McAfee firewall won't turn on, but depending upon where I look, it still reports being on in some places. A while back, I started getting warnings from mcafee about the firewall being off.
