• Satellite L655 - Windows Defender presents Kaspersky firewall as turned off

  With active Kaspersky, does anyone know why the Defender shows firewall Kaspersky Internet Security Inc. as off?

  Apart from turning notifications off the coast, try to activate Kaspersky via Windows Defender is not possible.

  Hey,.

  Hmm as far as I know only security software must be running. This means that if you installed Kaspersky Security software you must disable Windows Defender completely. Some security software publishers recommend it.

  Don't worry: security software just so that you can disable Windows Defender.

  Alternative request in the Kaspersky forum to get help. I think that this question has nothing to do with Toshiba ;)

• Firewall was turned off while I installed El Capitan on start-up level

  I deleted my 'Macintosh HD' on start-up level and downloaded and installed El Capitan newly - I'm discontent with the fact that the Firewall while downloading to OS X and the installation has been 'disabled' = off. -This seems uncertain and dangerous.

  If you do download behind a NAT router (all routers are NAT) and no one suspects is also connected to the network, then a firewall is not required because the NAT is really a firewall to the outside.

  Because the Apple firewall software is part of the download install OSX and absent during the download and installation there is no way to run the Apple firewall during download of recovery

• Why my Windows Firewall keep turn off briefly?

  I just launched a recovery on Pavilion Media Center TV m7470n desktop my father, which has restored XP Media Edition 2005 SP2. I then installed SP3 and use Windows Update to get the latest updates. The system now works fine, but from time to time, I get a popup notification that says that the Windows Firewall is disabled. The popup balloon quickly and when I enter the Security Center Windows Firewall appears as on. I did a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials and I also tried Trend Micro HouseCall and RootkitBuster. None of the scans showed no threat, but I'm still uncomfortable with the ball of myesterious to appear several times a day. Someone saw?

  Now, I think the HP software that updates the computer was responsible. I tried to get the updates by running the software myself, but he says there is no update available. After a day or two, however, he popped up and told me that several updates were waiting to be installed. After you install the updates from HP, the problem with the Windows Firewall stopped.

• Firewall turns off after Windows XP starts

  Hello

  I had the virus that has not seen the MS and MS Safty Scanner MS Security Essentials (MSE) malicious software removal (the value always protect).  It prevented the MSE to run.

  I downloaded Malwarebytes (no Scan option, no firewall or real-time).  He found the virus, the list is below shows what virus found where.  I uninstalled and installed a new MSE, he says that the machine is clean.

  Task bar indicators show my firewall consistantly goes off about 45 seconds after the start to the top, then turn about 30 seconds after the beginning upward.  (I note firewall controls are frozen before it turns off, it can be turned off from the start, just about 45 seconds for the PC to detect).

  The firewall configuration is does not (unknown error) while the firewall is disabled and setting off the power before.

  I'm running a fully updated MS Windows XP 32-bit, bridge 2005,.

  Now, I already tried a lot of things, including about six analyses of various companies.  I suspect there is still a compenent that nobody yet knows how to look.  Is there anyway to get MS to analyze my system to see what is out there, so that they can identify the virus, I think I have MSE reports, but there is no button to tell MS my computer is infected, so I think that there is no report.

  I'll probably have to find another XP operating system going offline, but my piece of bridge came not with all drives, so if there are unique drivers they may not work with windows 7 or later.

• "due to an unidentified problem, windows cannot display windows firewall settings" fixed but still can not visit some sites and the laptop now turns off the coast on me. What should I do?

  I have an Apire one laptop with Windows xp service pace 3. I had to restore it to factory about 3 years ago. Some time after that the sound system began to slow and the Synaptics mouse stop working properly. I can move the pointer, but the left click does not work. It works in safe mode but not in normal windows. I used the Acer eRecovery for correct, but it did not work. I tried to download the driver for the mouse on the internet, but some how it could stop the download. I gave up at tring to fix. Some time in late March or early April, I couldn't access internet and after 22:30. I ran the diagnosis that is provided by internet explore and he said that the HTTP and HTTPS worked but the FTP did not work. AVG later told me my firewall is disabled and there was the possibility to reactivate it and I did. After internet explore stop allowing you to enter certain sites that I wanted to enter, I ran the Diagnostics again and he told me that a firewall client has been the cause of the problem. I tried to control my firewall setting, but had that "due to a problem not identified, windows cannot display the firewall settings". I thought AVG was the problem, so I have unintalled then he returned and attempted to access the firewall but got the same message. I typed in Google MySapce and found this site. I followed a few directions given to others in the thread started by joecarpenter33 and discovered that my firewall has been deleted and Base filtering engine has been deleted also. I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes ANti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition and tdsskiller. MBAM has found a Trojan. The results of the analysis is less to:
