  • 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.

  • No screen Firefox 9 beta of Norton or not should I now all antivirus protection?

    I just installed Firefox Beta 9 and it said that I no longer had the Norton Toolbar. Does this mean I don't have my Norton Antivirus protection on this site? Am now not protected somehow when I use your site?

    The part of the Norton antivirus application should work fine, but extensions of Norton for Firefox - IPS and toolbar are disabled because Norton can not stand the pre-releases of other programs.

  • 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,
    -Alex

    * - Malware is the generic term for all malicious software in the calculation. The virus is actually a sub-category.

    Use the Microsoft Safety Scanner in full scan mode and remove all threats that is not detected by it and see if the problem persists.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
    The Microsoft Safety Scanner is not a replacement for the use of antivirus software that offers continuous protection.

    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.
