Description: The Base Filtering Engine (BFE) is a service that manages firewall and Internet Protocol security (IPsec) policies and implements user mode filtering. Stopping or disabling the BFE service will significantly reduce the security of the system. It will also result in unpredictable behavior in IPsec management and firewall applications.This is a service launched by the legitimate C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe program. The actual executable file for the Base Filtering Engine service is C:\Windows\System32\bfe.dll.It should not be disabled unless the computer does not use a software firewall or IPSEC services.
