Problems with windows firewall and safemode

[BEIST]

I have had problems with safemode for a long time. When I try to start my computer in safemode it reboots when it's supposed to enter the desktop (after the drivers are loaded).

Recently I have had some problems with Windows firewall. I can't access its settings. When I open the firewall settings in the controll panel I just get the message "Due to an unindentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows firewall settings.". When i try to activate the firewall from Microsoft security center, i get the message "(...)go to Windows firewall in in Controll panel.(...)".

I have had a lot of trojans lately, and find new ones almost every time i scan.
I suspect that I may be infected with some kind of downloader and that this might be somehow related to the problems with safemode and Windows firewall.

Panda Activescan couldn't find any problems, and therefore didn't create a log.

I have had complaints from my operator. They have limited my line to web-browsing only, because they consider my computer as dangerous. They have recived spam from this line, they say, but i can't find anything out of the ordinary on my computer=(

Thanks

Try Solution for Case 1: here for the firewall problems

Your Nero program could be causing problems getting to safe mode.
Uninstall and get the latest version.
