Antivirus protection for PC
I got my uninstalled McAfee and I was wondering if I really need to buy antivirus protection? My firewall is enabled, automatic update is enabled, Windows defender is on, and other security settings are ok... do I have to buy an antivirus protection for my computer or is it possible to run without? If I need to buy protection, what is recommended?
Hello
You certainly need an Antivirus program must be installed on your computer, but also Anti-spyware.
Free AV programs do a good job of protection.
Make a choice from these AV programs (installation more than it will cause system problems):
Avast: http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#tab4
AVG: http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage
MSE: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5201
Avira: http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus
And the Antivirus program will disable the Defender, which is the normal thing for them to do.
Malwarebytes free version works with them. It's an Anti Spyware / Anti-Malware program.

See you soon.

What is the Windows Security Center and is compatible with Avast antivirus Protection?
I installed a paid for version of Avast on my Windows XP computer. (I won't be upgrading to a more modern version of Windows.)
I also called Windows Security Center.
Is the Windows Security Center virus protection, or is it simply a place to control and discover whatever you have antivirus protection?
If it is a virus protection, it would hurt Avast and if so can I uninstall it?
If I removed Avast and didn't have Windows Security Center, I should any type of protection against viruses on my computer?
The only type of protection against viruses in addition to Avast, I am sure that I have on my computer is Windows Firewall. I turned that off and am now strictly protected by the firewall of Avast. Windows Security Center notifies me of cannot have two firewalls upwards at the same time.
If Windows Security Center antivirus protection it would do no harm to leave it on if the firewall is disabled and Avast is installed? Part of Windows Firewall Security Center Windows or another program?
Guesses are welcome. Thank you.
Hey there Clinton!
I've identified two questions here, your normal text questions and my answers in bold:
Is the Windows Security Center virus protection, or is it simply a place to control and discover whatever you have antivirus protection?
Windows Security Center is not a virus protection it's just simply a place to control and view the status of the installation of malware * protection software, but also the firewall on your computer.
Part of Windows Firewall Security Center Windows or another program?
Windows Firewall is a separate component.
Does Avast! Damaged, if I have another antivirus running program?
It is not clear what might happen, but software may conflict with each other and may not work as expected.
I hope that I have answered all your questions!
Sincerely,

window xp security center antivirus protection is off how can I me protection.
MY COMPUTER IS NOT PROTECTED WHY. SECURITY CENTER ME SAID OF ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION IS DISABLED
Many of these programs require annual fees to continue working, so if you have a message to this effect and is not paid, it would be a possible way, that this could happen. Of course, another possibility is that your computer could be infected with a virus. Whatever the cause, it is imperative that you have a working of antivirus running software version. There are several free there, against MS, called Microsoft Security Essentials. Two more are AVG and Avast. Don't forget that before installing any new anti-virus program you need to uninstall any other person because more than one on a PC will cause problems.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

A newer version of Firefox has been improved on my laptop. After the upgrade, a message came that my McAfee Antivirus Plus would be more compatible with the new version of your product.
Again, I have several months in use more protection against viruses and do not have the money to buy something else. I need antivirus protection work and need detailed instructions on how to return to the old version of Firefox 4.
If you can't help me, I have to go to IE and I really want to do.
I have a fairly new laptop bought in October 2010 and am under Windows 7 operating system.
Thank you.

RESPONSE! Go to your downloads folder and find your old installation of Firefox 4 icon. CLICK on IT and reinstall! It replaces your recent update and return to Firefox 4! WOOT WOOT!

Better protection for Canon 200 with f2.0 lens
Hello guys! I have a Canon 200 f2 lens and I'm looking for a better protection of the front element in addition to the range hood. So far, I saw people recommending the lens of Don Zeck and LensCoat Hoodie Cap. Does anyone have any experience with one and 200 f2? Or are there better alternatives?
Also, would you recommend the LensCoat coverage for complete protection of the lens? Alternatives?
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. Have a good!
Karren
I recently bought a 300 f2.8 L IS used and it came with the Don Zeck lens cap & I learned since it is a very well respected Cape. On another forum, I belong to the Hoodies were also highly recommended & so were coats of lens & considering I bought the objective value, I bought both. On what style of lens coat ruled on the most difficult part for me but finally I went for the camo style. It protects the majority of the lens, but not all of it, but as someone who respects his material, but who uses it also as expected that I am satisfied with the additional protection for a dollar. A recommendation on the hood was to remove the drive which makes forward rigid IF you think that you would take your goal (& maybe with your camera) on the front of the lens hood. In this way there is no risk that it is not sitting on the floor.
