I previously had a security package (Charter Security Suite) installed but moved to an area where Charter services are not available. Instead of using the program's Uninstall function I used the Windows Add/Remove function. Now the firewall is still on and I cannot turn it off. The Control Panel/Security window shows Firewall On..and expanding it says Charter Security Suite 6.15 ia on. There seems to be no way to turn it off. The problem this causes is I cannot receive incoming communications such as updates, virus updates, etc. and always receive an error message that I am not connected to the internet.

From what I could find this thing can be a real @#%@! to remove.
Have you looked for it's program file? Maybe there is an uninstaller in there.
Have you tried in Safe Mode?

The best solution would be to try to reinstall the software and uninstall it again, but it is probably not an option for you. . .

You will need to go to another computer and download autoruns to a USB Flash Drive (or media of your choice):
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

If you don't have access to another PC, you could try to disable it like this:

Hold down the windows key and press r
type msconfig in the text box and hit ENTER
check the services tab and the startup tab for the unwanted program
deselect the check-box next to each entry (there may be several).
Click OK
Restart
After restart check box to not show Microsoft Configuration Utility
Click OK

Post back here with your results

Good Luck

How about doing a System Scan with HiJackThis and posting the log here. We very likely then can give you the names and locations of the files you need to stop from running.
Get HiJackThis Version 2.0.4 from http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/
Open the program and Run a System Scan and save the log.
Copy/Paste the log back here and we can take a look.

Charter Security Suite is developed by F-Secure Corporation. The most popular version of this product is 1.0. The names of program executable files are fsavgui.exe, fscuif.exe. Maybe this will help when you people start hunting files to kill. Later---

I cannot reinstall the program because Charter says I am not a current subscriber. I tried the msconfig procedure and that did not turn the firewall off. I tried the autorun procedure and there were two F-Secure files that could not be removed because the files could not be found. The firewall is still on and blocking me. My next step will be to use the Hijackthis program. I'll post the results when I get them.

That is probably a three year old version of HiJackThis. Where did you get it? That isn't the one from the link I gave you above.
It won't give a good reading at all. You need to delete or uninstall that one and download the newest version and run another System Scan
Get HiJackThis Version 2.0.4 from http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/

But even looking at this log it shows NO firewall and NO anti-virus program running on the computer.
Download the newest version and run another scan.

You really need to run the programs in our Read Me sticky. You have quite a few nasty items on there, even looking at this very old HJT version, that is obvious. The computer is out of date for sure, java is way out of date.

Download this program, run it and post back with the small log it will provide.

But FIRST:
Download Security Check by screen317 from here http://screen317.spywareinfoforum.org/SecurityCheck.exe or here.http://screen317.changelog.fr/SecurityCheck.exe
Save it to your Desktop.
Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

I understand that no firewall is shown, but Control Panel/Security/Firewall expanded shows "Security Suite 6.15 is on"

That isn't the whole log. You have posted only the top portion.
Your computer is GROSSLY out of date. That Security Check log shows that. It shows no anti virus program, no firewall, AVG Rootkit Free which is NO LONGER available as a stand alone product so it is way out of date, out of date Firefox, way out of date Java way out of date.
Even though it "shows" that Security Suite 6.15 is on, it doesn't show anywhere in the logs you have posted, and it WOULD show.
Your computer is so out of date it is likely there is infection/malware on there, the original HJT log you posted showed that for certain.
You need to follow the steps in our Read Me Sticky
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread134865.html

I am doing as you indicated and will get back to you after finishing Read Me Sticky

I will be happy to read all the logs when they are posted.

Note to others reading this thread, these instructions are for THIS computer ONLY. This tool is NEVER to be used unless first instructed to do so by a helper.
Please download ComboFix by sUBs from HERE
· You must download it to and run it from your Desktop

· Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
· Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Run Combofix ONCE only!!

· When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply.

I received a message that Charter Security Suite was activated and to disable it before combofix could finish. That is the one thing I can NOT do

Have you done a file search for Charter Security?

There is a folder in Program Files named Charter Security Suite. There are several folders, most of them empty. There are six files not in folders: fsdeph.dll; fsisu.dll; fsisuNT.dll; fsld32.dll; fsuinst.ENG; and install. None of the files can be deleted because they are "full or write-protected". What would happen if I reinstalled XP?

You say the install file is there? See if that works.

It is not an .exe file. Clicking on it returns the following data:

Ok, see if this will work for removal:
Revo Uninstaller
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

You can download this and try to remove those files which will not remove. This is a free 30 day trial of this program. Hopefully it will work.
Select the application in the list of installed applications and press the "Uninstall" button in the toolbar, or right-click the application and click the "Uninstall" command in the displayed menu. Revo Uninstaller will show an uninstall wizard, which will give you 4 options to choose from:

* Built-in uninstall mode - run only the application's uninstaller without any additional scanning
* Safe uninstall mode - includes the Built-in mode and performs additional scans in the Registry and on the hard drive to find leftover items that are safe to delete. This is the fastest mode.
* Moderate uninstall mode - includes the Safe mode and performs an extended scan to find all of the application's leftover information in the most common places of the Registry and on the hard drive
* Advanced uninstall mode - includes the Moderate mode and performs a deep and thorough scan to find all of the application's leftover information in the Registry and on the hard drive. This is the slowest mode.

The program does not show the Charter Security Suite. When I attempted to bring it onscreen by entering it in the search box and then hitting Enter the program completely shut down. On the bright side I might use the program to get rid of some of those old outdated programs on this machine. It's getting closer to the time for reformatting I think.

Have you tried contacting the Charter People? I know you no longer have the program but you DID maybe they can tell you how to get rid of it by calling their help line.

It's one of those "no human available" things. I've tried calling but am told to enter my account number to be redirected. I don't have a record of that. Pressed O to get an operator and she says I have to have an account number before she can connect me. I tried their Chat support but was told my problem is not in their knowledge base and gave me a telephone number. I do have a pending support request with F-Secure, the company that I believe developed the Charter Security Suite. I do want you to know that I really appreciate all the effort you have expended to help me. Thank you so very much.

I wish I could have been more help. If you feel comfortable with a reformat then this may very well be your best option. That way you will know the "illusive" firewall will be gone and it no longer will be able to interfere with the normal usage of the computer.

Well your help wasn't wasted. I did get rid of some Malware, and the undo program helped me get rid of a lot of old, outdated, and no longer used programs. If I don't get any help from F-Secure I suppose reformat is the way I will have to go. I don't look forward to it because it's a lot of work, but seems to be the only solution. Sometimes one just has to bite the bullet.

One more final point.......I reopened the uninstaller program and found a menu option Forced Uninstall. I was able to browse to the Charter folder and ALL items were removed by the program. However, it left the firewall in place. Oh well, life goes on.

Did you try it in Safe Mode? This I think, is the only thing we haven't tried here. The firewall shouldn't operate in Safe Mode so the files wouldn't be in use.

I did a system restore to get back the files I deleted earlier. The program once again deleted them, this time in Safe Mode. While all efforts to locate any Charter files of any kind comes up blank, it is still riding high and ever vigilant in Security Center. Thanks for the "one more try".

If you have used System Restore like this then this is the reason you cannot remove it all. System Restore actually operates only on a very few system files and settings. System Restore backs up your registry. System Restore does not backup your data. If you delete or damage a file, System Restore will not recover it. System Restore will NOT uninstall a program. In fact if you have installed a program and find you don't want it and you use System Restore to try to remove it then it may leave you with much of the program on the system taking up space but it just won't be listed in Add/Remove, making it much harder to uninstall. System Restore does not keep old copies of your files or settings. If you're looking for an "old version" of a file or program that you used to have on your machine, System Restore isn't going to have it.

I didn't know that. You mentioned Safe Mode and since I had already uninsalled it with that program it wasn't there when I went into safe mode. I used restore to get it back. I know better now.
