Windows screwing Utorrent?

[psychobain]

Hello everybody

im using windows xp

Something really strange happenned this morning; when i started the computer, this appeared:

"Application failed to inicialize: 0x800106ba . a problem caused Windows

Defender Service to stop. To start the service restart the computer or search

help and Support on how to start a service manually. "

ok, this has nothing to do with Utorrent, right? but wait...

so ok , i dont care for windows defender, i can delete it

but then i opened Utorrent and @ the log, showed this: Error opening Windows firewall 0x800706D9; and the light went Red (Not connectable, A firewall/router is limiting your network trafic. You need to open up a port so others can connect to you

so i checked my Router config (Dlink di-604), and everything was fine, all the configs were there

so i tried to change the Port on Utorrent, and configured my Router, but nothing happened

the red light still there

any idea?

"Error opening Windows firewall" sounds like the problem.

Have you disabled/configured the Windows firewall?

i think that it was disabled, but now when i try to acess it at the Control Panel a message appears, something about the Firewall/ICS not being executed, then i select yes (to run it), and it says that couldnt execute the Firewall/ICS

i googled and find some similar problems

looks like windows defender ruined the windows firewall

now i cant acess it, and im totally firewalled, all the ports

i really dont know what to do
