Malware Deleted Windows Security Center/firewall?

By Networking Security Posted in: Security Solutions

Hi, so I had malware, which I deleted (ran malware bytes, McAfee, Windows Malicious Software Tool and some more programs) but I believe it deleted my firewall.
My McAfee firewall will not stay on and when I click “turn on” I get error 1075. I have gone into “Services” through the taskmanager as well as “Component Services” and I cannot find McAfee’s firewall or Windows firewall or security anywhere.
Also, Windows Security Center is turned off and cannot be turned on. I have tried reinstalling McAfee, going into the registry ( but cannot find anything relating to the firewall), and I have even ran the sfc /scannow command.
What can I do? I am fairly good with computers and really don’t have a lot of money to take it in to get fixed. Is there a solution? Or perhaps, will my 3 year HP warranty cover this?
I am running Windows 7.

    Some malware inserts registry entries to suppress Windows warnings about the disabling of firewall, antivirus, and the Automatic Updates service, disables the Automatic Updates service and quickly re-disables it if manually re-enabled.
    Look at the below site to handle with the removal effects.http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-re…
