Is this a real attention/alert Windows security?
I got a "Windows Security Alert" less than an hour ago and the need to know whether it is legitimate, before I click REMOVE ALL to 91 spyware, adware & virus it shows. Can anyone help? (I took a screenshot & the window is still open)
That will probably be one of the antivirus programs false.

It would be useful to know your OS (Xp, Vista, Win 7) current antimalware/antivirus program (Avast, Microsoft Security Essentials, Norton, McAfee or other) and the exact name of this malware based on what is shown in the pop-up windows that was detected.
From your description, I suspect that maybe it's the fake Security Center. Check the link below for comparison and if you feel confident in your ability to follow a removal of self-help guide proceed carefully(Note: scroll down beyond the ads for the removal guide)

I'm guessing that you're referring to a problem involving Security Center that sometimes occurs after the silent update through Windows Update to the new version of MSE. Usually, but not always the problem occurs on computers running XP. This occurred after updates of Windows of today?
If the MSE icon is green then you should be protected and cannot ignore this Security Center warning. The issue seems to be resolved spontaneously after a few days

Everything that Firefox still seems to work fine.If she comes back, I will inform this thread.

Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled. I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated. I read related security problems, but I have not found a match. I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach. It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update. «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»
When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.
Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."
Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer. Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance. I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.
also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools. They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

Several issues having an impact on computer - security alert Windows
Help. I'm a self confessed computer illiterate! It seems that whenever the update of Windows is running on my computer, it changes the settings & I encounter problems.
I'm currently running Vista (please let me know what other details you might need) & I have Bitdefender. Windows Update ran & now I alert security windows saying there are several issues that affect my computer. I checked Bitdefender & all right with respect to any virus or malware etc. etc. When I click on icon - windows security alert - it opens the windows Security Center.
Everything changed on or Ok. Like how windows tells me that there are several issues affecting my computer but then doesn't bother to go & tell me what they really are.
Someone else has encountered this & know what it means or how I can fix this problem...
I underestand that your Windows Security Center will tell you you have any questions, but when you open it, all right. If this is the problem then, it could be due to delay the departure of the Windows Security Center to monitor your anti-virus.
I suggest defragnment and clean and updated Windows and make sure you have installed SP2, make sure that bitdefender is updated.
Also, just check and make sure you have the latest version of bitdefender, please refer to:

Two days ago a pop up not specifying it as Windows Security, said I had + 400 cases of spyware on my computer. I've accessed my security MS Support page, who recommended I download and run a Scan of emergency Ms. I did this and within 6 hours, it all 700 000 + files analyzed and found absolutely no error file will be scheduled, no virus, spyware, malware, dracovenii or anything else undesirable or harmful to my system. I also checked to make sure that my MS Security Essentials program was completely up to date. Yesterday, warning of security Windows icon in the lower, changed toolbar in red indicating that my anti-virus is disabled or that I have no virus protection. Nobody knows what is happening and how I can fix the problem. I have tried everything I can think of to turn the indicator on the pop up Windows Security Center virus protection, nothing helps. I'd appreciate some advice, please and thank you.
