Firewall Windows 8

I just bought a Pavilion 6 installed windows 8, but the wizard HP tells me that firewalls do not work and the antivius does not work.  When I go to the Action Center, it does nothing... I also have Norton on my system, and my contract is not outdated.   Why are firewalls does not, the vulnerability is my system?

I note the other users have the same problem but I can't find an answer

Most of the AVs will be functionally identical and offer protection and similar support. As an employee of HP, I can't say what software is 'best '. However, in most cases no paid software will offer more than free software. I can also say that Windows Defender is less intrusive than other AVs and updates smoothly through Windows updates, which makes it an excellent choice.

  • Firewall Windows with Google Chrome problem

    Hello. Earlier today, I open Google Chrome and received one of these guests of firewall Windows that says "Google Chrome" tent of... I accidentally hit always block, instead of always accept and now I can't use Chrome. I get this message:

    NS lookup failed. DNS is the web service that translates the name of a Web site to its internet address. This error is most often caused by the presence of no connection to the internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by a DNS server does not respond or a firewall preventing access to the network of Google Chrome.

    I tried the following, and none of them worked.

    (1) I added Google Chrome to the list of programs supported in Windows Firewall.

    (2) I restored the default settings of the firewall.

    (3) I did a system restore to yesterday.

    (4) I ran my anti-virus software.

    (5) I cleaned my dns cache.

    (6) I unchecked the "use DNS prefetch to improve page load performance" in Chrome.

    Nothing has worked. I know this has something to do with the fact that I told the firewall to block anything that Chrome was trying to do, but I can't seem to unlock!

    Can anyone help?

    I recently installed the last 16 (High Profile) updates to security, for most security updates and updates from net framework as well as the removal of malware for windows XP tool.

    After installing these updates, now my Windows Firewall turns off during 'Boot Up' on all restarts. If I try to load Internet Explorer, it will also not load up to minutes serveral / while this happens... That's fine, then finally my firewall itself loads Up quickly turns to Internet Explorer and back on during this time around the same time.

    After these updates these things are happening on my computer now, it's as if there is a process running, but nothing run any virus, Trojan or worm etc just these updates caused this problem. I don't know if it updates is corrupt or not, but have tried different things as system file checker /scan etc with no luck.

    (1) computer boots to the top and seems to Load Up Fine ' until the ' or 'Look at this' but isn't, something is running in the background or process "wing unstalled" is obviously "unhooked", etc..

    2) try to load Internet Explorer last minutes and is very slow to load up, even if I 'don't load Internet Explorer' must still a long while that as in the firewall turn off for awhile some several «minutes» (way too long), before "auto turn on automatically return.

    (3) turns firewall Windows itself on "finally" as Internet Explorer finally loads upwards as well the two Internet Explorer is able to load 'definitely' and the firewall is on "finally" as many minutes later as listed above, at the same time.

    This could be the cause? Only, it has begun to 'After' I ran windows update and installed the 'most recently high security updates for windows XP' there were 16 listed mainly security updates and updates of net framework as well as the software removal tool windows malware.

    That's all that is changed on my system, I tried many things, nothing seems to fix this problem with my computer. I know for a fact that these updates are the cause, but am not sure that you caused it? Or how do to solve this problem, any sugguestions would be appreciated.

  • Firewall Windows appear to be turned off permanently

    (1) you have a third-party security software installed?
