Action Center keeps pointing out that my anti-virus is disabled, even if it is still ongoing.

I ran avast! but, mainly due to this error report, I bought 'Spyware Doctor with Antivirus 2010' from pctools but, unfortunately, it does the same thing.

Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi snellij

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

I recommend the methods are:

Method 1:

Check if the installed anti-virus virus definition is updated.

Method 2:

Turn on Windows defender and firewall. Steps to follow

i. Click Start

II. Type in Windows Defender

III. click Tools

IV. Select Options

v. Select administrator

VI. Select Use this program

VII. click Save

Link for reference: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

Method 3:

Make sure these services are set to automatic

1. Windows Security Center

2. Windows Management Instrumentation

3 SBSD Security Center Service

Steps to follow

i. click on start and type services.msc in the search box

II. research services

III. right-click on the service

IV. If the service is stopped and then starts the service

v to start the service, click and select Properties

VI. and in startup type, select automatic

Method 4:

If the antivirus is updated, then you can disable the message related to virus protection.

i. open the Action Center

II. in respect of the antivirus Protection select Disable messages on virus Protection

    Action Center keeps telling me that Bullguard firewall or antivirus AI swiched off the power. I check bullguard and everything is ok. What is going on?

    Dear rt00

    Please note that when you start your computer, it loads first your operating system (Windows), then other applications that are set to run at startup. Depending on the amount of RAM that your machine and also on the number of programs that need to be loaded, this process can take a long time to complete.
    Because at the start of Windows Security Center modules of BullGuard are still waiting for Windows to load them (through the svchost process), it signals that you are not protected. This warning should fade after a few minutes.
    If this isn't the case, I recommend that you contact us at http://www.BullGuard.com .

  • Why Windows tells me that my anti-virus is disabled and my Antivirus says it is? Who can I trust?

    Just like the title says, Windows tells me that Windows Defender and Avira (my antivirus) is off. But when I check on Avira it says "Protected" which means that it is on.

    Now I'm confused, can someone tell me what is the problem here? Thanks in advance.

    Thank you!

    You can not run 2 antivirus at the same time programs which is what you do. When you stall Avira it disabled Windows Defender and some third-party Antivirus do not play nice in Windows 8.0/8.1.  My advice would be to uninstall Avira via the Control Panel, then go to the site Avira and download and run their removal tool. Then, restart your computer. Windows Defender and Windows Firewall must now be on, l but check in the center of the Action. Windows Defender is more than able to defend your computer. You can also download and run Malwarebytes free version and you can run only occasionally but do not activate the free trial of pro.  Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  • Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled.  I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated.  I read related security problems, but I have not found a match.  I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach.  It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update.  «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»

    When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.

    Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."

    Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

    When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

    also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

    Can someone help me solve this problem? I have Microsoft XP Professional on my computer.  Thank you.

    A common cause of this is to have your program configured antivirus to analyze the messages, including outgoing mail.  If you can completely uninstall the AV program, and then reinstall it without the analysis feature mail.  If you can't do that, turn off scanning messages.  You will be just as safe.

  • Why do you have my laptop suddenly started giving me a message that my anti virus protection, firewall and antispyware is disabled?

    Everything was normal until I turned on my computer this afternoon and received the message from the center of the action there are three issues that must be resolved. Antivirus, firewall and spyware protection has been disabled, but if I try to turn it on, nothing happens. Does nothing I contacted Norton earlier and made him a remote control of my computer and saw no problem with the Norton Anti Virus program. They said to contact your computer dealer to solve this problem with the message. After that, I even did a system restore to a previous point, which does nothing too. Kept receiving the message after every start.  Anyone can give some help on this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Since you have posted in Forum Vista, I will assume that you are using the Vista operating system.

    You can get this information by navigating to the 'Start' menu and selecting 'Security Center' in the 'Control Panel', then you should be able to see what is running (antivirus/antimalware) under the tab "Malware Protection".
