  • What are Service Packs? Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free? If yes how? If I update it will help or hinder my system? Any pack is better than another?

    Windows Vista Service Pack (basic information)

    Hello

    I know this may seem a simple/stupid question, but I do not understand what are "Service Packs".  I don't know much about computers.

    I have restored my laptop to the factory setting today and I reinstall my programs again.  I am trying to install a new program as well (Autodesk Inventor 2012).  The installation says I can't because I need Service Pack 2 and I only have Microsoft Vista Home Premium (Version: 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001).

    What are Service Packs?  Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free?  If yes how?  If I update it will help or hinder my system?  Any pack is better than another?

    Thanks for the information and assistance that you can give.

    AstoriaBoro

    You can install Service Pack 2 very simply - go to Windows Update and check for new updates - then install all available updates.

    Once they are complete, return again (after a reboot) and do the same thing - repeat until there are no left.

    Along the way you will be installed Service pack 2 :)

    Hello, Pichon,

    If Windows Vista application unexpected activation

    On rare occasions, you may be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer that did not previously require Windows Vista activation or has already been activated successfully. For example, this may occur on a computer on which Windows Vista was preinstalled by an OEM installation or Volume licensing and are major hardware changes occurred, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time.

    If you are prompted to reactivate Windows Vista, you can do this by using the Windows Activation Wizard to:

    1. Click Start, and then click computer.
    2. Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.
    3. Select the Windows Vista activation method that you want, and then follow the instructions.

    To avoid this problem in the future, obtain the latest service pack for your version of Windows Vista, either through automatic updates or direct download.

    To update to Windows Vista and prevent this activation problem does not happen:

    1. Click Start, click all programs, and then click Windows Update.
    2. Click find updates.
    3. As soon as Windows Vista found the updates, click the install updates button.

    This problem started about a month in December when I had Windows Vista Home Security 2011 Virus. I followed the steps described in the Guide here:
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-vista-home-security-2012 to fix (Bleeping Computer). I thought that it would be solved the problem.

    Recently, I had trouble with my internet. I can connect to my wireless router and everything seems in order, but when I start my computer, I can't view Web pages - I Internet Explorer and Firefox, none of them works. Once I restart my computer, it works like a charm.

    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?

    In addition, after checking, the registry values for the Security Center and Windows Defender firewall disappeared. Help please? All the Fixit on the Microsoft Support site failed.

  • After installation of Service Pack 1 for Vista 64 bits, Windows Security says Malware and firewalls are off.

    I recently reinstalled my copy of Vista 64 bit I hope to solve this problem that has been with me for a while.  Before I wiped and reloaded, Security Center Windows would alert me every day that my firewall protection and malware have been disabled.

    I use Kaspersky Internet Security, which is fully updated and works as it should.  I am able to activate Windows Firewall and bypass the firewall Kaspersky and that error to go away, however, I can't remove the error of malicious software.  I got all these errors directly after a restart after the installation of service pack 1.

    Under Windows Security Center it says, "Kaspersky Internet Security reports that it is turned off," under the heading for malware protection.  When I click on the button to activate under Windows Security, it goes through the steps who say do you trust this program, Yes, Yes, ok.  After choosing all the options of trust Kaspersky and activate this protection, he thinks about it a little, but always returned and said it's off.  It also has a green light saying that Windows Defender is actively protecting your computer.

    I think that my Internet Security Suite is successfully active in these areas and work I checked the menu, check that they work.  In my opinion, after installation of service pack 1 that something I have messed up in the statement that those programs are active or really uninstalled them.

    Even if I can get the only message that the Kaspersky firewall is disabled to disappear by enabling the Windows Firewall, which is not yet as I want.  I want the suite of internet security that I paid to be active and functional on the side of the Windows security features.

    I would appreciate any help with this problem by addressing why he continues to warn me that my protection malware and firewalls are disabled.  Thank you.

    Also install Windows Vista SP2 this problem could be solved, otherwise try to uninstall and reinstall Kaspersky and also, try to get the latest version of Kaspersky.

    If still the same issue please contact Kaspersky support.

  • WinXP SP3: Security Center think multiple anti-virus and firewall (cleaning) are running when not.

    It is after the removal of Security Tool virus.  I need to delete everything that is telling Windows (XP SP3) that there is a firewall and anti-virus (es) when they are not running.  I need to install real firewall and antivirus, but cannot.

    Fixed a problem.  I found this on the Avira forum.  Use BartPE to rename \windows\system32\wbem\repository (to... repository.org, so that I could get back in the case where this caused problems).  Then restarted.  Now that the real firewall and anti-virus that run really show in Security Center.  The entrance to the forum suggested run services.msc and stop the WMI service, and then do the renaming.  However, the name change was denied, that's why I used BartPE - boy, this thing is a lifesaver sometimes!  I appreciate the help I received from those in this forum.     Thank you, Steve

    Hello

    Are you logged on as administrator? See the links I posted above that tell you how to fix that.

    BTW do not have more than one antivirus on the system at once, even if not used as they
    always will interfere with each other. Be sure to use the removal of the machine tools and/or special
    instructions or a lot let problem causing remains.

    =======================================
    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.

    I hope this helps.

  • Navigation for the AVG firewall Windows XP - network sharing and occasionally be blocked due to uknown UDP outgoing local traffic remotely different ports... Repeatedly enters FilterDevice in the firewall log

    Various involved Ports:

    I also saw port 259 and a few others...
    The firewall settings work for various other users, but seem to don't like is not something in my configuration.

    As a member of a domain running Windows XP Pro SP3
    When it blocks the traffic, they are always directed to a remote IP address of a domain within my local network controller. I uninstalled a lot of applications, and made sure I have no services for unix/linux installed.  For a bit, I thought he may have something for security certificates because my computer and user accounts are configured with our local CA... I doubt, however, that is related...

    I also know that my domain name is not the configuration as tight as we would like to see because we had to reduce some of the security settings for old Windows 98 and AS / 400 systems.  So I remember an old key "reg" which might not help:
    Location: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation
    \Parameters
    Key: enablesecuritysignature
    Initial value: 0
    New value: 1
    This changed seemed to help but then after another it reboot started appearing again...

    Hi LalithNaveen,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. what security software you have installed on the computer?

    3 have you tried to start manually Security Center?

    I suggest you temporary disable the security software on the computer and then check if the problem persists.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • UAC is not inviting for some things from windows updates

    Hello, I noticed something strange since the windows updates this week. Some applications that require UAC elevation before no longer seem to make - games as games, Battlefield 2, etc. UAC is still ongoing enforcement and not disabled, as for example if I try precisely to run a program as an administrator, it appears, and some programs continue also to the prompt about opening like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and all that the brackets in file systems without going through a dedicated service running for him, it just feels as if UAC has been 'relaxed' or at least updated with a list of programs is not to trigger for.

    I know that there is an update for the windows 7 UAC a few years ago which facilitated the situations in which the guests would appear, but it's on a Vista system and I don't know if it is problematic. I ran malware scans and they came to own; and this has only started happening (as much, I noticed) the last turns of windows updates, but by reading the articles in the knowledge base for them I'm not sure if one of them would have changed the sensitivity of UAC on Vista guests.

    Could someone tell if it is a consequence of any updates? Thank you.

    Hello

    I suggest you to check the following link, which talks a lot about UAC.
