  • Center of Windows security, firewall and defender will be not turn on?

    I can not turn Windows Vista 32 bit SP2 or Windows Defender Security Center or Windows Firewall. All services are also missing: Center security, firewall, Windows Defender and Windows. Also my BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) was also missing.

    I get error 0 x 80070422 when I try to run Defender. I have no problem when you try to run the Windows Firewall. I have could not start the Security Center when I try to open it.

    , I ran an in depth with AVG and ran Adaware scan and nothing showed up. I also ran a fix of batch file from another topic that was supposed to restart these services and who restarted the service BITS, but still no luck with the Defender, firewall or Security Center. I turned off AVG free version (no built in firewall) and still no luck. I also ran a Microsoft fix for the Windows Firewall and it just hung and never finished. As far as I can tell that it continues to receive windows updates, 16/05/12 was his last.

    It's my dads PC and I don't know when this started. I installed AVG and Adaware when it 1st had the PC 2 years ago.

    All that I really care is that it has the Windows Firewall running it is already using the free version of AVG, but it has no firewall. My question is, is it possible Microsoft Security following summer not included in the previous version of Vista before service packs? Adversely, if possible, so I just tried to download the windows firewall or the whole of MS Security Center?

    Anyway, any help with this would be appreciated. I read a lot of topics already.

  • 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

  • Do I need to have the conexant modem when I already have internet cable modem. I continue to receive messages from windows that I need to install a driver

    I bought this computer used for the school. previously, the owner used AOL and dial-up. I have cable and a cable modem, so I removed the modem to see State of windows that they needed to install a driver for the computer to work. Also, I have windows 7 on my old computer, but have not been able to install it.

    Hi Crystal, azure

    If you are using a router/cable modem, then you don't need to dial the modem conexant. If you are asked for the driver, then you can either install the driver or, if you want to get rid of the quite conextant modem you can remove the material completely, assuming you know how to do this. Of course, you will have to open your case and remove the conextant modem. For this I guess you have a desktop PC. A laptop would be more difficult to remove the conexant modem, unless the modem is a stand alone.

    You give no details as to your problem of not being able to install Windows 7. More information will be required before anyone can really help you with this problem. An idea of what is happenning when you try to install windows 7 and error messages would be useful; What version of Windows 7 and whether retail or OEM. By the way if you try to install an OEM copy from another PC on your computer then you will obviously have problems like the copy so attached to the first PC OEM installed on the byt the PC manufacturer.

    Yes.

    Not entirely. The problem has 2 parts:

    (1) WU - is not a wise decision to restart the computer to unconditionally and inconfigurably.
    (As much as I KNOW Vista Home Premium doesn't have a GPedit to remove autoreboots)

    (2) WD - this is not a wise decision to update the database of WD by WU.

    I would like to apply a more efficient to organize the display of files, a similar to the options available via EXCEL.  I want to sort the files of desktop Windows 7 by type AND update... looks like it would be a logical way to view the files.  Currently, I can do one or the other.  Sort by modified date provides a hodgepodge of file types, sort by type will not most recently changed... organize a hodgepodge of dates.  You wonder why I felt it necessary to ask this... seems to be a simple and logical option which would already be available.  Is it?  If so, how can we do this?

    I don't know where you see all sort in excel. The file > open in excel procedure uses this same kind as provided by the Explorer (its Explorer discovers Documents)

    The view in excel is obviously filtered to Excel docs.
