• What I have to buy extra (Norton or McAfee) anti-virus or is the antivirus in Windows Security Center enough?

  What I have to buy extra (Norton or McAfee) anti-virus or is the antivirus in Windows Security Center strong enough? I have McAfee on my computer, but my subscription has expired. I wonder if it is necessary to update? or if the antivirus and security installed in the Windows Security Center is all I really need. and everything is a little more kill?

  Hi RevStevieB,

  Windows Security Center helps improve your computer's security by checking the status of several security essentials on your computer, including firewall settings, Windows automatic updating, anti-malware software settings.

  If Windows detects a problem with any of these security essentials (for example, if your antivirus program has expired), Center security displays a notification and places a Security Center icon in the notification area.

  I recommend you to download & install the antivirus or security software up-to-date so that it works correctly.

  You can also download & run Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer.

  Hope the helps of information.
  Please post back and we do know.

• Vista error "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Contact the administrator of the system to you. When you try to open Avira Antivirus and Windows Defender".

  Whenever I try to open Avira Antivrus and Windows Defender, I get this message: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator. "I am the administrator and I have not set restrictions.  It worked, but started recently and I can't find answers.  All solutions?

  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.

• I have Trend Micro antivirus for Windows 7, but I'm told it's not compatible with Mozilla 9.1, how to get an older version or to adapt?

  I use a computer laptop, just reinstalled everything and now have Firefox 9.1 and tells me that is not compatible with my antivirus, Trend Micro Titanium. I am running Windows 7.

  This situation should not come up again with future versions of Firefox. From Firefox 10.0 (to be released Jan 31 Mar) modules will be assumed to be compatible with the new version of Firefox and they will be not disabled, as in the past. Well sure, if an add-on does not work correctly or totally screws to the top of Firefox, it is up to the user to sort only the cottages, with a little help from those of us who provide Firefox support.

• Trend Micro AntiVirus and Windows Security Center are contradictory among themselves

  I got a message from Windows Security Center that says that Trend Micro AntiVirus related my malware was not turned on. I clicked on the button and nothing happened. I opened my window to tend to discover that all systems were on and protected. Just in case, I began my analysis of virus and it worked for 3 and a half hours now and it registers only 10% full... something is wrong?

  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.

  Download replacements, but do not install until after the withdrawal of those present

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

  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.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

  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.

• 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 .
