Antivirus and Windows Virtual PC software

I have Norton antivirus software on my computer.  This software will also protect my Windows Virtual PC and anything that I have run in Windows XP Mode?

Hi Jen,

Use a free AV and Norton in the normal environment in the virtual environment. Waste of money to use a paid license twice on the same machine.
Try Avira or Microsoft Security Essentials .

See you soon!

    Hi I_GHall

     

    It seems that you receive the message you want to software conflicts. I suggest you try to disable either the Avira antivirus and windows defender and then check if the problem resolves.

     

    If you disable any security software for troubleshooting temporarily, so don't forget to activate after troubleshooting is completed that your computer will be at risk.

  • Windows XP mode and Windows Virtual PC

    My old system crashed (looked like 15 years in any case lol) and a low-cost system now has the SATA card and readers, but my old HD is ok. My new system is installed with Windows 7 Ultimate, but my old HD has WinXP with all my music, games and other software. I'll get the IDE to SATA Adapter block, but in any case, here's my question... I want to reuse my old IDE hd with all my files from WinXP on it and I did a reading in this Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC and I would like to know if someone is using this download mode of Windows XP to Windows 7 and what questions have known and if it is worth, but for me it would be worth cause I had some problems with my (x 86) software from the re - install it on my Windows more recent system 7 and Win7 is a big update for me and my new system only cost me about the same price it would just go out and buy Windows 7 Ultimate lol.  The experiences and knowledge of Windows XP mode on Windows 7 would be helpful thanks in advance...

    Hi RussBrad,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Based on the information, you want to know if you can run Windows XP mode without any problem in the Windows 7 system.

    Windows XP Mode lets you run business software Windows XP older right on your Windows 7 desktop.

    Windows XP Mode comes as a separate download and works only with Windows 7 Professional, full and business.

    Windows XP Mode performance depends on the configuration of the computer.

    Since you are using Windows 7 Ultimate edition, you will be able to install and use Windows XP mode without any problem.

    For more information, see the articles:

    Windows XP Mode

    Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

    Hope the information is useful.

  • Newbie - run same app on Mac and Windows virtual merger

    I have a number of applications that I need to operate in the two (10.8.2) OSX and my virtual Windows machine (Windows 7, Fusion 5.0.2).  After I installed the application on the windows machine, my app on the mac has been replaced by a link to the virtual machine, and I can't run in the mac environment more - it always starts just my virtual machine.  This is the case for Acrobat (I have a full version for mac, I used to run, but after installing a version full of windows on my windows machine, when I click the icon in the applications folder, it starts my virtual machine, and I can't my mac version) and also for Java (I can no longer go and configure the java on my mac preferences when I go into the applications folder and click on java It starts my virtual machine).

    Hi rji3,

    Plase, try the following steps, which I think might help.

    1. Select your VM Virtual Machine library and select "settings".

    2. click on the button "default application".

    3 uncheck "Open your Mac files and web links to Windows applications using"

    4. re-start the merger.

    I hope that these steps can help.

    Hello

    Some antivirus/security products may cause this error. McAfee, Norton, Windows Live
    OneCare, Threatfire are some. What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have
    on the machine now. And who did you NEVER got over it, even if you have uninstalled them. (These
    Let the remains that cause strange problems). Therefore a number in your case.

    Check the default services and dependencies to ensure that they are running.

    ------------------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Avast - home - free - 7.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". Provide the password/OK to the UAC prompt, and a command prompt opens. At the prompt, type:

  • Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

    I just bought a new PC Pro WIN 7 with the ability to run WIN XP in a virtual machine.  It told me I have to go on a MS site and follow the instructions to validate that the installation was valid. Then I was told to download the 3 following programs without any explanation as to what they were.  The programs are:

    windowsXPMode_N_en - us.exe

    windowsXPMode_en - us.exe

    GenuineCheck.exe

    So I downloaded them.  GenuineCheck.exe I wanted to save a password in the Clipboard to use in step 2.  I couldn't go to step 2.

    I installed windowsXPMode_en - us.exe.  I can now run a virtual XP in WINDOWS 7 PC.

    I have not (yet?) installed to windowsXPMode_N_en - us.exe.  I don't know if I have to, anyone know?

    Currently, I can open the Virtual PC in XP mode.  I transferred only a set of 32-bit up to now to see if it will work.  To do this, sort of.  Kind of means that the game works, but it is gross or difficult to read data, the colors and the resolution is bad.  On the side of WIN 7, colors and resolution are very good.  What the first step before installing Visual Basic 6.

    In addition, while I have an anti demo virus installed by the supplier of the computer, it doesn't seem to work in Virtual PC.  Is this a matter of concern, or am I protected by WIN 7?

    Thank you

    This is not necessary:

    windowsXPMode_N_en - us.exe

    This is for clients running Windows 7 Pro N

    Here is everything you need:

    1 Windows6. 1 - KB958559 - x 64 or x 86 architecture that you run

    I want to peronsalise my Trackball Explorer settings.

    However, I'm not sure if the original CD Intallation IntelliPoint 4.1 is compatible with Windows 7 (x 64) and Windows 8 (x 64).

    I was unable to locate the corresponding or software drivers online, probably because the device is no longer sold (only shame).

    (a) is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8 original software?

    (b) if not, could you please provide the software download that is?

    Very much appreciated.

    Hi Trini,

    It seems that Intellipoint 4.1 is not compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8. I suggest you to download and install Intellipoint 7.1.

  • Sound distortion with sounds and Windows streaming media

    First of all, I'm not very technical minded, so please excuse my attempts to describe it!

    A few weeks ago, the sound on my laptop became distorted - metal kind of high, very "rough" and nasty high-pitched squeal kind of like your comments. Happens on all Windows sounds, on the media (like YouTube) streaming, but WMP works fine so I know it isn't a problem of speaker, need software.

    Just before this happened, I tried to download and install Skype, but couldn't get my microphone to work. I then uninstalled Skype. I also installed Spyware Doctor from PCTools, but there were some conflicts when he tried to run scheduled scans, three times, I started my computer to find the message "your system has recovered from a serious error" (I also have Norton Antivirus and Windows Defender running). So I uninstalled Spyware Doctor.

    I tried to find info online on this and have since downloaded and run CCleaner. I also downloaded and re-installed the Realtek driver for my sound card, but I still have this problem. All tips are welcome!

    Very beautiful ;) Thanks for this useful info.

  • Windows Virtual PC, create application shortcuts

    I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on a Lenovo laptop. I installed Virtual PC and Windows XP legacy software operating Mode that I use. It all works perfect and the Windows XP Mode Applications show in my menu, and I can open applications with shortcuts that were created automatically. Since windows THAT XP is no longer supported, I decided to create a second virtual PC as a test project. On the second virtual PC, I downloaded and installed Windows XP Mode as the first one but then I upgraded the second Virtual PC for Windows 7 Pro 32 bit that I bought. It installed fine and after you install Virtual PC integration software it works perfectly. The only problem is that the 32 bit Windows 7 Virtual PC does not appear in the start menu under Windows Virtual PC. Therefore applications that I install in the Virtual PC in Windows 7 32 bit are available in the start menu shortcuts. I can open the Virtual PC in Windows 7 32-bit and run inside applications and everything works fine but I can't understand how to create shortcuts for applications. Help, please.

    Thank you, Mark

    If your computer is actually turn off and isn't just pass in "Sleep" or "Hibernation" during a scan, and this happens only when you run an analysis, then I must say that yes there is a problem with this security on this computer suite.

    Personally, I'm worried about the security suites.  They developed gradually bigger and bigger, which requires more system resources, and when they fit well with a particular operating system, they can interfere with its normal functions.  My preference is to use a good antivirus and Windows Firewall.
