Action Center says it has detected potentially harmful software and won't show me what it is or I solve Windows defender is to come clean and so security micro scan

Original title: Action Center

I recommend that you run Disk Cleanup or cCleaner to remove temporary files as this will reduce the time to scan security software.

Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in normal mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

I uninstalled Security Center and has begun to System Mechanic upward and now I have the same problem.  I know that Windows defender worked until this problem showed and now it just stopped when this popped up warning and Windows defender was back, 10 minutes later I returned to restore 15 days back the warning and the Defender is dead.  Does anyone have any King of clue on how to fix this?

    Hello

    I was doing some courses on my computer until this window came on my screen and playback;
    "Windows detected a hard disk problem. I immediately went and checked in the properties to see the current status of the disk, and it says "this device is working properly" I am confused and decided to restart my computer. Again, read the error message and it says that the disc was allowed in properties. Every 15 minutes or so, the same error message.

    What you see in the drive properties in Device Manager has to do with drivers and the drive configuration, not the real state 'physical' the reader.

    First of all, I error side of caution and if sure you have a backup of all your personal files, data, music, photos, contacts, movies, etc., external media (favorite external hard drive).

    Run the check disk (chkdsk); I suggest to run with two checked options, difficulty of file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    INX dependent scripts.

    If your plugin adds persisted data that you are now missing, you must implement the script to have the data to support the INX round trip.

    In case you don't want to open your ordinary scripting features, there are ways to limit them to INX.

    You should also review your code, the assertion means that even you are referencing an object of the UID that is already deleted.

  • Action Center notification: SmartFTP has stopped working

    A problem with SmartFTP

    My ActionCenter (Windows7 x 64) announced that I have a problem with SmartFTP, and it's stopped working. But

    I didn t have installed SmartFTP.

    I checked my installed programs and looked for my disc hard space, but didn t find all entries for SmartFTP.

    Can I ignore this message, or has another program stopped working which is identified as SmartFTP?

  • Error message indicates the computer needs to restart full o updated to Firefox, but has been restarted several times and won't uninstall.

    The user whose machine they exist the problem doesn't have administrator rights. Firefox 5 detected a version upgrade (version 17) while she allowed him to continue. He did not, but since then, Firefox has not worked at all. It displays an error message"your computer must be restarted to complete a previous update of Firefox. Do you want to restart now. "I managed to remove the 17 version using Windows Add/Remove Programs, but add/remove programs show an installer, icon, not a normal program icon." The machine is a HP8000 running Windows XP SP3

    Thanks for the replies folks. I solved the problem by renaming the Mozilla Firefox folder like old Mozilla Firefox, and then return to add/remove programs to remove the element that resembled an installation program. I thn restarted the PC and reinstalled Firefox 17 from scratch. It worked perfectly. The user favorites are still maintained.

  • Why Adobe Cloud appliocation list have a button saying 'try' If you already have matched and won't allow a new trial?

    I think its stupid to let these buttons on setting to TRY if you don't have this option available anymore and you click on it, then it will install the entire program before tell you your trial period has expired. Then the button will change to BUY. should say BUY before clicking to see if there is a trail? especially with a long list of products, how can you remember those that you tried and failed if the buttons do not tell you from the start? Why install first the whole program before the button notifies you that a trail has expired? Sometimes your interface programming is not what is convenient

    No! Microsoft never this.  It's a scam and with various
    the names and phone numbers, those who become very common these days.

    In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
    If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
    where confidential information they stole.

    So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
    immediately:

    1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.
    2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other

  • where can I find the windows of the installation files on the hard disk of a machine that has the pre installed software and recovery software?

    where the windows installation files are stored on a disk hard if the software is preinstalled. My systrm broke down and will not restart, want to re window installation but do not have a disc, samsung refuse to number one, all I want to do is to reinstall windows 7. to access the command propt and can launch the 1st screen of the windows setup, but when it gets to step 2 his request that the drivers can be installed. any idea?

    If victory has been pre-installed by Samsung how to recover as long as the plant is a Samsung process, usually through the hidden restore partition.

    There is nothing on the drive on which the end user can use to reinstall other through instructions Samsung.

    On some PCs from Samsung, you press F10 as the PC starts to access recovery.

    Be aware that if the player does not, you will not be able to recover.

    Only Samsung can provide the recovery disks, or the means of recovery in the factory.

    Although there is an ISO official win7 download to create the installation win7 dvd for use with your Win Key.

    If you use this method about the utility Samsung provided will be installed and you will need to visit their drivers Samsung support
