  I'm guessing that you're referring to a problem involving the Security Center that happens sometimes after update silent through updates of Windows to the new version of MSE... but it is also sometimes occurring after the updates of Windows 'monthly '.  Usually, but not always the problem occurs on computers running XP.

  If the MSE icon is green then you should be protected and cannot ignore this Security Center warning. The problem resolves after a few days.   I do not pretend you disable the protection in real time on MSE, disable Security Center, restart the computer and then turn everything back on and restart once more... some users report this sequence fixed the problem.

• How to get rid of the fake windows security alert virus

  There was a virus on my laptop in the last two months. on the bottom taskbar, there's a red 'x' icon shield and whenever I try to go it takes me to the esentials Security page and he said: "the Security Center service is disabled" and it lights whenever I try to turn it on. also it doesn't let me access the internet or try to restore the laptop. I tried all solvents of spyware as spyware doctor and malware bytes, but it seems that I still have not had the problem again. help because this situation is greatly appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  One way to solve the problem would be to backup your important data (redundancy) and then re - install
  Windows after formatting the drive. Check with the manufacturer of your system's support to see what you need to do
  that (and you probably already have what is necessary). You can buy the installation discs for Windows in the system
  machine cheaply if necessary since you already own windows.

  =====================================

  Another method would be to ensure that the malware is detected and deleted with internet access being
  restored.

  Try typing several times F8 as you start and select a Safe Mode with networking. If that works to proceed to the
  methods below. (You can try wired access and wireless if you have both available). If this does not work
  then use another computer to download the drivers and the necessary programs and transfer them to your machine
  on removable media.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however you must also run them
  the Windows when you can.

  It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: you want to update the drivers WiFi and wired (NIC).

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  Hello

  My computer is a little weird and then all of a sudden I couldn't use internet or Mircrosoft word, which I had used when the computer went funky.

When I do shows like 20 different anti-virus programs, which he has only three which can get rid of the virus.

  I don't remember installing this program, this SCAM or virus? What should I do?

  Hello

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to
  detect malware is often accompanied by a much more difficult to detect and remove the payload. If its
  better to be too full now than to pay the price much later. Check with these extreme

  These are fake antivirus, a scam to force you to pay for them so that they have no advantage
  Not at all.

• Vista Security Center alert (red shield) errors indicating security software (firewall, malicious software) does not not to start?

  Vista Security Center alert (red shield) errors indicating security software (firewall, malicious software) does not not to start?

  This problem has resurfaced. July 2011.

  2011 Microsoft Security Center alerts & errors?

  What The Red Shield keeps popping up with two questions in the Windows Security Center;

  (1) firewall does not run.

  (2) anit-virus Malware software is not running.

  Usually after a while it will reset and run, or I would go on the page of the security configuration to start a program.

  However, recently, the settings will not be reset, and it became an ongoing problem. He seems to have understood

  worse with Windows updates.

  He had a command back to review and reset the settings of windows Security Center in a solution under Windows

  but I wasn't able to find it again (the help has been restructured)

  I ran sfc/scannow, Glary Utilities, CCleaner and Advanced System Care.

  AntiVirus software are Microsoft Defender, F-Secure, Malawarebyes.

  I run Microsoft WindowsVista.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Sincerely the rich;

  Hi rich,

  You may need to install the hotfix that is described in the following article and see if it helps:

  Windows Security Center does not detect the antivirus application that is installed on a Windows Vista-based computer

  Hope this information is useful.

• Microsoft is aware of a rogue security alert that mimics alert Microsoft Security Essentials?

  See this site for more details.

  http://Clubhouse.Microsoft.com/public/post/001648ea-976f-4cfa-A528-0e4ffe23a8ec

  I was wondering if Microsoft knows about this threat.

  If Microsoft knows about this alert, how they classify this threat? What they call it?

  I know that no anti-virus software will detect all at the same time, I only meant that Microsoft should be aware of this, because the creators of thugs try to imitate Microsoft Security Essentials alert them and attract users in the purchase of products not authorized.

  I know how to check whether or not the alert is Microsoft Security Essentials.

  When the time protection real Microsoft Security Essentials detects something, it always appears from the tray icon, it shows not directly from the alert, whereas the fake one appears directly on the center of the screen of the computer.

  Anyway, the whole point is that I don't want too many antispyware software on my computer, I prefer to use portable applications for the detection and removal, such as rescue of vipre, portable superantispyware, doctor web cureit, norman malware cleaner. I don't want to have separate antispyware software more, that drives me crazy, if I have these installed I will need to be updated regularly, they don't have no automatic updates unless if I buy the full version.

  I know that it will be easier to tell if the alert is false or not, once Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0 is installed on the computer, because Microsoft has removed the "Clean computer" button in alert details, it does appear on the alert since the icon of the status bar, while the false, they imitate the alert from MSE version 1.

  Maybe the alert doesn't really matter, the thing that matters is the threat to which the alert draws in

  Well, it seems that now, Microsoft has finally got the hang of this threat, the threat is now classified as Rogue: win32.fakepav

  Hope that Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0 coming out soon, so the user can make the distinction between the legitimate and the fake more easily alert.

• Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled.  I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated.  I read related security problems, but I have not found a match.  I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach.  It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update.  «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»

  When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.

  Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."

  Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

  When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

  also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

  This message is not in MSE. If you have an AV/program installed (AND you can), update the latest definitions, start in safe mode (without network), and then run a full scan. I would hazard a guess that you have downloaded something in this setup.exe which is not really a program AV. It would be likely to send all your personal information, including passwords and account numbers, to someone you definitely don't want it to be.

  If you do not have an AV installed, follow these tips:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  * MalwareBytes (FREE) http://malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php>
  * (FREE) SuperAntiSpyware http://superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREE>

  Delete all what they find, reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Then perform a scan with the eSet Online Scanner http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanneronline >.
