• Security Center and updates of Windows do not work on Vista laptop

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron with Vista 1405E.    The Security Center and Windows updates do not work.

  I ran Norton Utilities to clean the registry and I deleted Norton Antivirus (completely, following the instructions from Symantec on the phone), but nothing has changed.  Any suggestions on what could be the problem?

  Thank you

  Should I remove S * PERAantiSpyware from my computer?

  If it is not necessarily - free SAS, but if all were fine with your computer (and it's not!), you should not have installed SAS because MSE includes a component of anti-malware.

  Should I install the [definitions optional updates offered by Windows Update MSE]?

  You pouvez install them but this is not necessary - assuming that MSE is installed & working properly... but I suspect that this is NOT the case!  See this FAQ: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/74e507b8-f6da-4eca-8ce7-d1aca7d3f1ba

  [Microsoft] Security Essentials is related to the Security Center?

  Yes. Security Center monitors the status of the firewall, automatic updates and Protection against malware (anti-virus & anti-malware; applications i.e. Microsoft Security Essentials).

  Translation: Since the Security Center still cannot be permanently turned on, there is a very good chance that MSE and Windows Firewall will not work correctly - despite the fact that we have now managed to get the computer fully patched to Windows Update and despite the multi-step fix, I had to make.

  In your case, there are several possible causes for this behavior:

  1. your McAfee subscription and/or your previous subscription of Norton AntiVirus may have expired before that you did something;

  2. do not run the remove McAfee & Norton tools at the right time; or...

  3. misguided use of registry cleaners.

  So, what can you do about it?...

  OPTION A: MSE support could be able to help you. Residents of the United States (only!) should be able to open a support incident free of charge by e-mail via this page-online https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/default.aspx?productkey=morrolaunch&mkt=en-us&st=1&wfxredirect=1

  Note: After selecting your option, language (e.g., English-US) and clicking the button CONTINUE, click on the EMAIL button, not the FORUM button!

  OPTION B (recommended): See the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to the letter and in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb

  If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a 'BigBoxStore' or Geek Squad!) computer repair shop & let them do the work.

  IMHO your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  Wish I had better news for you. Good luck!

• 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

  * - Malware is the generic term for all malicious software in the calculation. The virus is actually a sub-category.

• Running Security Center and Norton 2010?

  Ooops!  Sorry I meant Security Center and NIS 2010.  Sorry for the cofusion.

  Re: Vista Home Basic 32-bit / Norton 2010

  Should I run Windows and Norton 2010 Security Center all at the same time?

  Already, I understand that I should not have two Firewallls at the same time and you have disabled the firewall of Defender, but what of the rest?

  Thank you!

  When you install Norton and Norton would make jobs for you, it allows to disable components such as Windows Firewall. Windows Security Center is a tracking tools and does NOT matter what conflict, it will shows you what is happening in your PC, such as you update or anti-virus is working or not.

  I try to do a repair of the system with one or the other repair disk or installation disk.  If you don't have either, you can do a repair disc by clicking on start-> Control Panel-> backup and restore by clicking on create a system repair disc.  If this does not work, you may need to restore your computer to factory settings.  I would back up all the important files now while you still can because you don't really know how damaged your computer is.

  Good luck.

• I tried to activate the microsoft fix it Center and received this message: "another user runs the application even." How is - this this can be when I have one computer in my house?

  I noticed in my email that someone sent some of my contacts, email coming out and using my name.  I received a mailer and found that attachments that have been added to the e-mail were something that I'm not familiar with, or know, but still, it was supposed to have been sent by me and I haven't sent their.  Why is this happening?  My computer has been compromised?

  Chances are it might have or you have been deceived by clicking on a link from an e-mail sent by a friend (but really a virus) and has been infected by a virus spam. I never had any experience with them because I have never been deceived by clicking on links or download attachments of the so-called "Albums". Who knows, maybe there is a keylogger on your system and a hacker is constantly followed all the entries in your password. In any case, this post is in the wrong section. You can re-post in a more appropriate category. I suggest that you perform a virus and spyware scans on your computer (kaspersky virus removal tool 11, malwarebytes, spybot S & D etc.). Delete as soon as possible then change all your passwords and do all the security measures necessary to keep it/him/herself to regain access to your accounts. Some people may lose their identity as easily.

• Windows Firewall and Security Center will not start, error 1068 and 1079

  I can't start my firewall Windows, error: 1079... or Security Center, error: 1068. Can help you with this question? When I try to access the Dependencies tab I get this error: Win 32: the specefied for this service is different from the specefied to account for other services running in the same process.

  I checked to see if dependencies were the same account before I got the message of 'Win 32' and WMI Service runs in the same account (Local Service) as firewall and Security Center, but the RPC Service is running on the Network Service account and cannot be changed via the services console, because the account fields are gray and cannot be viewed or modified. I try to avoid using the tool 'SubInACL' because I don't want to reset the whole registry.

  Help, please!

  The other post:

  I had a problem with obtaining the Windows Firewall and Security Center to start. Service account permissions have been changed at some point, including the depedencies. I get the error 1079 on the Windows Firewall and 1068 on the Security Center. Both are defined on the Local Service, but dependence, the CPP is set to Network Service and cannot be changed because the user fields are gray. I try to avoid using the SubInACL.exe because I don't want to reset the whole registry. Can you help me please?

  No, I'm not on a domain. I connect via a open wireless "hotspot". My main problem is; I don't have a Firewall or Security Center. Nor will begin. I get the error: 1068, to Security Center and an error: 1079 on Windows Firewall. When I try to access the dependencies on either I get this window:

  WIN 32: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.

  A month ago I made the mistake of trying to brand of ACDSee of security, "ACDOne" which includes software "BitDefender". That's when I lost my firewall and Security Center. BIG MISTAKE! I uninstalled and deleted all the files that I found that have been left.

  My Security Essentials and Windows Defender work very well. I'm stuck and need help with this please! Please, I beg you! Someone... Help!

  While trying to fix this, I realized the Microsoft Security Center and firewall have been disabled. I could not turn them back on. In Services, I neither Security Center or a firewall, and all of the other solutions I tried did not work. Help?
