Necessary antivirus product?

An Antivirus product is necessary on a HP Pavilion with W/Vista

Hi CharlesDirst

 

If you do not have up-to-date antivirus software on your computer, you should immediately install it because any computer connected to the Internet without antivirus software is vulnerable to attack. You can check out below help links-

  • Have I not contradictory of the antivirus programs

    I have downloaded recentlly zonealarm internet security suite. When opening which tells me there is conflict produced antivirus on my computer Forefront Client Security. This is a microsoft product that now I can not turn on the defender of microsoft which stops me change the programs that are installed.

    Forefront Client Security is a MS security application that is obsolete and replaced by Forefront Endpoint Protection.  Both are business applications, you may need to treat it with your group of business IT.  However, to answer your specific questions, by installing zonealarm, you added a second real-time antivirus product, you should never do.  Pick one, and only one or they come into conflict with each other.  In addition, Forefront prevents you from turn on the Defender (properly...)  I guess it does not stop you use zonealarm as a competitor, and doing so will likely create legal questions.

    Most antivirus products have a software removal tool that should be used instead of remove in Add/Remove programs.

  • Install or not to install: "Webroot Antivirus with spy sweeper" and "Norton Internet security".

    original title: install or have not installed?

    I am very confused about the difference between "Webroot Antivirus with spy sweeper" and "Norton Internet security". They are both asking me to click on install. They provide the same service? What one do need me more? Windows 7 is already a certain protection/security installed in? I'm afraid to install anything that is not "Microsoft". I heard that too much protection can get an infected computer. My new computer is not yet a year old, I want to keep it in good shape for as long as possible.

    The real risk of installing more of an anti-virus program is that they do not work well together and can cause system performance slow and computer lock-up and others.  You should only choose an antivirus product and install it.  Microsoft Windows comes with a limited program called "Windows Defender" that protects against spyware/adware, but no virus, but if you prefer a Microsoft solution, you can download and install "Microsoft Security Essentials" that offers more protection.  Personally, I also use and recommend MSE and have never had a problem with it.

    Make sure that you uninstall Webroot and Norton Internet Security before installing MSE.

  • Microsoft product key does not work.

    I bought my computer in November 2011 and it has been updated and now it says I need to reactivate with my product key and the activation process will not accept my product key. Is this common? I really need to buy a new product key when my computer is even not so old?

    Have you tried to restart by phone? Because according to your report, Windows 7 still uses the grace period of 30 days before the product activation is necessary:

    Product key certificate URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=88340
    Partial product key: 3MBMV
    License status: Notification
    Reason for the notification: 0xC004F009 (grace period expired).

    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
     
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
     
    (3) select your "country" in the list.

    @Psing89,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  The only option you have is to perform a complete system recovery and it will clean the system and return to the original configuration.  This link will help you with that.

    If this fails and the virus has penetrated into the recovery, then the only option are to get a new copy of the the recovery media and use it to completely wipe the drive and start again.  This link will help you get a copy of your recovery media.

    HP computers - get HP recovery disks or HP USB recovery disc

    Please let me know how things are going.  Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

  • . File MSI installation file open multiple browsers

    My University purchased the software and created an MSI file to install it on windows machines.  This file has been used successfully several times by students to install the program.  However, there is a student who has a problem.  When he clicks on the.

  • AVIRA with DEFENDER vs MCafee

    AVIRA works wth Windows Defender? How they compare with efficiency and functionality?
    Dave D.

    Hello

    You can use Avira as one scan on demand (must see their support for installation instructions) but only
    Prevx really works alongside another antivirus. Windows Defender will work along side many antivirus products
    However McAfee and others will be out there.

    Remember if you decide to remove an antivirus/antispyware/security product, you should secure the withdrawal of the constructor
    tool and/or special instructions.

    Here's what I use and recommend:

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
    Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

    Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
    (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
    a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
    a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • In Windows Defender, remove them, disable and enable buttons will activate not when I try to use them to manage the start up programs.

    I'm looking to speed up startup of Windows Vista.  I had used Windows Defender to disable startup programs.  It worked as described.  This time, delete, disable it and enable buttons would not activate or turn on when I chose a program to turn off.  Any suggestions?

    Defender is probably not necessary with McAfee...

    Both offer a real - time sweep and may potentially conflict with each other.

    You should never have more than one security product installed on the PC, providing active protection / scan. This can cause performance problems, system instability and conflicts between programs and can affect all installed antivirus product efficiency.

    Vista is historically a slow start... I have improved the startup of my Vista laptop with a reinstallation of the operating system, without installation of I-tunes (the computer was used by my daughter-in-law) and I added 1 GB of RAM.  It starts very well now.

    McAfee is known to adversely affect the performance of the computer - I him have not used for many years.  The last time that I removed McAfee from a slow computer, that it was like the addition of several gigabytes of RAM to view was an immediate performance improvement.  If your computer has a good processor (preferably bicoeur) and several GB of RAM must be able to run Vista (and McAfee) however.

    Good luck...

    Hello

    More than likely you yourself infected with a variant of malware. Downloadhttp://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php mbam, then restart in safe mode with network. Once there, install the software and the update, then run the full scan of the system. Do the same with your antivirus product preferred before restarting normally.

Go to the Startup tab and then select the safe boot option and check the box for networking. Click apply/ok and reboot as prompted. Reverse the steps when you are ready to restart normally.
