  Hi Carolina,.

  Was it a Dell engineer who has reinstalled Windows for you?

  In any case, if this is a Dell machine, there will be that a license key joined the PC somewhere, usually on the back, but if it's a laptop, it'll be below.

• Standard upgrade to a non-genuine Windows XP?

  I did a repair on Win XP installation, used one of several legitimate Win XP Professional CD with one of my several XP license keys.
  It was after a physical reconstruction, the new disk, the new config.
  This version of windows has failed the genuine validation.
  I tried a lot of mods of regedit, different keys;  none worked.
  Support says Windows XP is not supported, in addition to advice would cost me $99 and I had to upgrade to a new version of Windows.

  Question:
  A standard upgrade of Windows will work on a non-genuine Windows XP in base?
  It seems that the 'Get Windows Genuine Online' kit is a clean install, I would rather not rebuild my applications and data.

• Malware 'non-genuine windows' shows and other software (Acronis) not said that this is the evaluation version when it is the paid-up version.

  I've been running windows 7 64 bit with SP1 and all the updates that are known for 10 months without any problem.  Now, a 'non-genuine windows' malware appear and other software (Acronis) not said this is the evaluation version when it's the fully paid for version.  What should I do to solve this problem.  Rick Rickard

  You must read the user final license agreement and you will find that the OEM licenses have restrictions. You need to understand.

  If you want to move windows from one computer to another, you need a full commercial license.
  This same problem is again this morning on another computer where he runs a real operating system from microsoft, Windows 7 32 bit SP!, more than 4 months.  Today he says that my win 7 op sys is not authentic.  This computer has been customized built so I was the first to install a sys op on it.

• I bought a laptop computer with non-genuine windows 7 I have the windows xp product key pro, etc. from the bottom of the laptop, but I do not have the windows xp pro cd.

  I bought a laptop computer with non-genuine windows 7. I have the original windows xp product key pro, etc. from the bottom of the laptop, but I do not have the windows xp pro cd.  Help me, please!

  You will need to either buy a version authentic retail Windows XP, with its key sales, to a true scource or visit the site of laptop manufacturers, support for your model and see what versions of win are taken care of, then buy a commercial version of this o/s.

  The key on the base of the laptop is the recovery key that requires that the recovery disks provided by the manufacturer.

  You could phone manufacturers to support to see if they have the origonal recovery cd send you, for which it maybe a small fee.

• I just installed Windows Defender, but he does not see my Windows XP Security Center. I had to install Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows to see any antivirus. Why?

  I removed Bitdefender because it slowed my computer down a lot. I then installed Windows Defender and updated and scanned the computer (no problem) and said it was "protect my computer". But the Windows Security Center does not see any antivirus, until I installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Why? And are two antivirus programs now runmning together?

  Microsoft Security Essentials need to uninstall Windows Defender when it is installed. If youshould not uninstall via Add/Remove programs. See the following topics:

• Security Center does not recognize the Windows Security Essentials

  Windows Security Essentials does not seem to register with Security Center.  Security Center reports that no Virus protection is enabled.

  1. I installed Windows XP 32 - bit WGA, activated the product and updated to SP3.

  2 security Center starts giving Windows security alerts for Virus protection, because none has been installed.

  3. I installed McAffee VirusScan.

  4 security Center stopped giving Windows security alerts for Virus protection.

  5. I uninstalled McAffee VirusScan.

  6 security Center has resumed giving Windows security alerts for protection against the viruses as before.

  7. I installed Windows Windows Security Essentials and rebooted.

  8. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Windows Security Essentials with no joy.

  Windows Security Essentials installation did not prevent Windows security alerts.  No Windows Security Essentials registry entry will appear in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Security Center and monitoring.  If Microsoft consider essential security to be an antivirus product, then how to Windows Security Essentials register with Security Center?

  I understand that this is an information and alert issue only.  I understand that Windows Security Essentials works actually ok.  I am particularly concerned by the reports.  It conditions my deployment of Windows Home Server.  Deactivation of surveillance or the alert is not a solution, just a poor quality work around.

  In a previous thread, the author of this question even abandoned and has not requested additional assistance.  An explanation was given (relevant for Windows 7), but no solution has been offered.  Windows XP has not been addressed.   http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/the-Security-Center-has-not-recorded-an-anti-virus/15ae2383-7ced-4850-A863-f7eb8cc90ee5

  I had the same problem for a while now (I'm on xp) and have searched the Internet for a solution but found nothing at the moment.

  You should never run more than one anti-virus program. Two
  at the same time can affect your performance and exposes you to the
  risk of conflicts between them.

  Which of the two should run? Personally, I think that Microsoft Security
  Essentials is the best choice.

  Regarding Advance PC support system, I strongly suggest that empty you
  She immediately.  Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil.
  The registry cleaning is not necessary and dangerous. Leave the
  Only registry and do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what a lot
  people think, and try to which suppliers of software record cleaning
  convince you to have used really doesn't hurt registry entries
  you.
  The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
  delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
  It can have.

  Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
  use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
  problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
  the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
  cleaner and never had a problem with it.

  The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
  the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
  benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
  good deal.

• Windows Security Essentials disabled

  I had Windows Security Essentials installed and running on my computer for a couple of years or more with no problems.   The Security Essentials icon in the taskbar at the bottom of my screen. Tonight, I was looking at on the internet.  When I clicked on a link to a site found by Google (almost any site) I would be redirected to another site - usually a site saying that there is something wrong with my computer.  When I looked for the icon Security Essentials in my taskbar, what it was not there when I went to my list of programs and open Security Essentials it would start but then immediately closed.  Any thoughts on what is happening?  On what do I do?

  It seems that you have inadvertently installed a browser redirection that has disabled Microsoft Security Essentials.

• analysis of missed Windows Security Essentials

  I have installed Windows Security Essentials on many PCs - Vista, XP and 7 - to my friends.  I noticed that when WSE is missing a scheduled scan (maybe the computer is turned off), it does not catch and preform analysis effectively.  For example, my Windows 7 PC is now in its 3rd week after missing a weekly scan.  WSE should not go ahead and perform the analysis subsequently, or is it necessary to scan manually?

• Windows Security Essentials

  I use Windows Security Essentials. The HP Total Care Advisor on my laptop says that I don't have current anti-virus protection of my machine.  Why the Advisor does not recognize the essential security elements?

  Hello

  HP Advisor will never recognize a Norton installation - if you are using another security software it will not be detected.  It's just a limitation of demand and nothing to be concerned about security wise.

• I uninstalled Windows Security Essentials

  Recently, I uninstalled WSE as I already have McAfee and told two security systems could be dangerous? Now, I have a number of programs in my download folder with blue/gold screens on them. One of the ones I tried to re load is Realplayer (even with their help) and the desktop icon is back with this "shield" above and the program will not download any videos from any source. Is this security shield the problem and how do I get rid of him. I thought uninstall Windows Security Essentials that would result all existing blocks?
