I'm a security constant shield warning. Is this soft micro?

I constantly get "notice of security shield. Is this soft micro?

Security shield is not Microsoft. It is a rogue security program that claims to find files infected your computer and try to make you pay for the program.  Don't do it! Click on the Red 'X' in the top of the window title bar to close the window, or press Alt + F4 on the keyboard.

To remove it, follow the steps to Remove Security Shield and SecurityShield (uninstall Guide) at BleepingComputer.com

Using malicious software removal free of charge from Microsoft, go to the Microsoft consumer Security Support Center .

    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.

  • Connecting to a site locked/secured generates the warning?

    I check my email from Verizon via the Web, the login procedure has the gray padlock. However, according to the latest update of Firefox, try to sign in site results in the following security warning: "Although this page is encrypted, the information you entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party." Two response buttons are available: continue and cancel.

    I hope that my memory is not faulty, but I do not remember the past never before. Is there a bug in the version of Firefox that I use, maybe?

    Yes, I have already restarted Firefox. I even rebooted my system. The problem remains, however.

    Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

  • Internet Explorer says that hpqsrmon stopped working properly.went to download the update and a warning that this file type can potentially harm my computer... Please advise what I need to do

    Solutions and problem reports is saying that hpqsrmon has stopped working properly... I went to download the update and received a warning that this file can potentially harm my computer... Please advise should I run this update...

    If you get the warning on the download of an update of HP and IE tries to run the file, as long as you get the file directly from HP, it should be safe to run this file.

    According to this link, hpqsrmon is part of the HP PhotoSmart. You can also try to go to the HP support site, the model of your HP to input product, then download the latest drivers associated with your version of Windows.

    Once you do this there is a chance that the error will disappear, as the current version may be affected by a bug that has since been fixed by HP in their software.

  • Skype problem; Error "your current security settings do not allow this file to download.

    When I try to download Skype, I get "your current security settings do not allow this file to download.  Help, I need to be a speaker at a meeting using Skype.

    Where did you download Skype, it's here - http://www.skype.com ?  If not, download it here.

    Check your AntiVirus package or firewall to ensure that it does not obstruct Skype or the download site.

    What browser you download it with? If it is, try a test temporarily lower the security settings for the internet zone, and then see if you can download it. After the test, restore it to its original position. IE - tools - internet options - [security] tab - click on the globe (internet zone) and lower the slider. It downloads then? Don't forget to set the cursor when finished.

    Try to download it with another browser such as firefox or opera and see if that can download it.
