can not turn on the windows, using Security Center?

recently, I was infected by the virus of fake anti-spyware program called desktop defender 2010. I think I have all that, but is windows Security Center is still saying it is offline and when I try to turn it on, it tells me that it cannot be started. Anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

The computer is not completely cleaned up damaged Windows. Make sure that the machine is really clean:

If the computer really is malware-free, then make sure that the Security Center service is running.
Start > Search > type: services
When Services appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". Provide the password/OK for UAC and Services open up high. Scroll down to the Windows Security Center and it is is not running double-click to launch it.

If this does not work, you can try to repair the system files with the System File Checker. Start a command prompt in the same way that you did Services exception type: cmd
At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow [Enter] MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - Don ' t Panic!

  • EliteBook 2530p. Can not turn on WiFi Windows 10

    EliteBook 2530p, Windows 10 home

    Ive just upgraded the machine above 10 win 10 with the help of this site. Everything works fine except one thing, I can not turn on WiFi.

    The orange LED on the touch screen under the screen and the front edge of the machine are both orange and when I try to use the touch screen to turn it on nothing happens.

    All other keys work fine so I don't think that's the problem. I don't know another way to activate the WiFi on this machine.

    The WiFi card is recognized in Windows 10 Device Manager and I have re-installed the card and made sure the antenna cables are properly connected.

    Anyone had similar problems with WiFi / Win 10 works is not on this machine model?

    Any help or advice appreciated.

    SOLVED

    I'm frustrated, trying to get the WiFi works because it is a machine I was in the process of selling and I had no user file to worry about, I decided to clean install Windows 10 and re - install Windows 7.

    I did this and load all nessasary drivers but no matter what I did the WiFi refused to turn on. I did several searches and HP Wireless Assistant who got the status of 'Wireless LAN' was OFF but the Start button is grayed out so I couldn't activate it.

    While remaining in the wireless Assistant I hit the WiFi button on the touch screen and a message appeared telling me to unplug my Ethernet cable. As soon as it is unplugged the button power on in the Wireless Assistant has become clickable and I was able to turn on the WiFi!

    So it seems that if you connect an Ethernet cable to this model of HP, the WiFi system is disabled and the only way for him help is by unplugging the Ethernet cable.

    I think I'm going to stick with Win 7 because I'm still not sure that the wireless card is supported under Win 10

  • I can not turn off the microphone on Satellite p100-194

    No matter what I do, I can't turn off the microphone of shit, he's always watching on my speakers, I have all the right settings in the sound control panel... believe me!

    Does anyone know how to disable the security...

    * monitor on my speakers even when I uninstalled all the sounddrivers! ... * it seems to be a bios problem... HEEEEELP!

    Hi leon-k,.

    Usually, you can cut the speakers in the Windows sound settings. Go to control panel > hardware and sound > sound.

    Now, choose the recording tab as Akuma written and click Properties > listen. On this tab, you can change the volume and disable the microphone set.

  • Satellite Pro A300D-152 - can not turn on the S-VHS output

    After I installed Windows 7 (32 bit), I can't turn on the S-VHS output (TV).

    Any solution?

    Hi Longhorn_1,

    First of all, you should check if the display driver is installed correctly. This means that in Device Manager it should t be any yellow exclamation point.
    New drivers, you can download from the official page of Toshiba.

    In addition, you use output S-video if you press the FN + F5 key combination.
    Generally you must connect the S-video cable first, before turning on TV/laptop. After that turn on your TV and select the S-video port and then turn on the laptop. FN + F5 key combination to switch between monitors.

  • Can not turn on the Satellite M30

    Hello everyone...

    I have a Satellite M30 laptop for time enough and I'm having a problem with it. When I try to turn it on, it makes a kind of scratch noise and then nothing happens. The hard drive lit wrath but the computer does no sound and no picture on the screen. I tried to turn it on with and without the battery and the same thing happens.

    A few days before this happened that I could see the windows startup screen, after that the computer crashed, even when I went to the BIOS Setup screen, the computer also crashed, so the problem was not on the hard disk. A few days later, when I tried to turn it back on, it makes a single probe and nothing else happened. Can it be a motherboard problem? can I try before sending it for repair

    I'm scared of m it s a serious problem.
    Depending on the symptoms that you described the laptop cannot get the message and so I think there may be an error on the motherboard.
    I don t think you will be able to locate the fault. It is simply not possible for the common user like you and me

    If you have no choice as to the request of the service provider for Toshiba for help.
