Hi, I'm having problem with my Windows Firewall. I have tried restarting this service from my task manager services but it won't. Although it's status always show as starting. I guess due to this, other services depending on it like Base Filtering Engine, CoreMessaging are taking almost 30-35% CPU space and slowing my system down. Please provide a solution for this.
