Windows Firewall Could Not Start – After Uninstalling Norton

Windows could not start the Windows Firewall on Local Computer. For more information, review the system Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 87.

These are the steps I used to fix the issue:

1. Open the command prompt in administrator mode.
2. Type netsh firewall reset
3. If you receive an error message like I did saying:

Initialization Function InitHelperDll in NSHHTTP.dll failed to start with error code 10107
The service has not been started.

4. Type netsh winsock reset
5. Restart the computer.

Andrea, Ray and Mac (students) are currently fixing Norton problems.
