  Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began.

  Restore point:

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

• Firefox (which has apparently anti-virus protection) is usable on a computer with already installed Norton antivirus?

  I said that I can only have 1 antivirus program on my computer at the same time. Since firefox has features antivirus, can install it on a computer that already has a Norton antivirus program?

  User Agent

  Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; .NET CLR 3.5.30729 .NET CLR 3.0.30729; NET4.0C)

  Firefox does not include anti-virus protection, you need a separate program such as Norton anti-virus.

• Why do you have my laptop suddenly started giving me a message that my anti virus protection, firewall and antispyware is disabled?

  Everything was normal until I turned on my computer this afternoon and received the message from the center of the action there are three issues that must be resolved. Antivirus, firewall and spyware protection has been disabled, but if I try to turn it on, nothing happens. Does nothing I contacted Norton earlier and made him a remote control of my computer and saw no problem with the Norton Anti Virus program. They said to contact your computer dealer to solve this problem with the message. After that, I even did a system restore to a previous point, which does nothing too. Kept receiving the message after every start.  Anyone can give some help on this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Do the basics? IE uninstalled Norton, restarted then reinstalled Norton?

• Anti Virus Protection

  Failed to open Avast download from cnet. Cannot open anti-virus on Apple store. After clicking Download, a message reads that Safari is not opening. What application is necessary? Has received a warning from the Trojan horse after the opening of a picture of an ottoman.

  Would appreciate any help when we have time.

  You don't need an antivirus program.

  The pop-up warning, you saw is an attempt to scam to get you to provide personal or financial information. Do not respond to the warning by clicking on what anyone, nor a call.

  Force Quit Safari then while pressing the SHIFT key retart Safari.

• If the window Defender performs the same work as McAfee Total Security, why is it when I uninstall the McAfee I get a message that I don't have anti-virus protection?

  Above says it all.

  Above says it all.

  They do * not * do the same thing. Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program only. When you uninstall McAfee, you have p anti-spyware [protection, but no anti-spyware protection.]

  Moreover, in my opinion, McAfee is one of the worst of the available security programs.  For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (do not run more than one) of the following three:
   
  Avira AntiVir
  Avast
  Microsoft Security Essentials

• XP - cannot install Service Pack 2 and 3 in order to install anti-virus protection.

  I need to install Service Pack 2 and 3, in order to install a virus program.  I currently do not have one, as my Norton Antivirus program should be uninstalled.  I can't get the Windows Update page to download.  Is there another way to get to this download?  I want to get do it as fast as possible, as I am currently without any virus/spyware protection.

  Thank you!!

  If SP2 to SP3, is not installed, you could not possibly have a functional application of the antivirus installed and missing a value of more than four years of critical security updates! It is not a chance in h * that SP2 & SP3 will install with your computer in its current state, Erica.

• Problem with Anti Virus Software is not not able to scan pagefil.sys and hiberfil.sys

  Question:
  I ran a virus check and he warned me that the antivirus software cannot
  analyze these 2 files system. Can someone tell me if this is normal or not.
  Thank you

  What antivirus software do you use? pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys is the disc of Windows virtual memory and file restore hibernation file. Both are system files that should not be accessed by anything other than the operating system itself. Never underestimate your own stupidity.

• the windows Security Center detects is not the system of anti-virus protection on my computer. How can I fix this bug?

  (b) locate the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service, right-click on it and select "Stop".

  (c) navigate to-

  C:/windows /System32 /wbem /repository

  (d) delete the content.

  (e) now perform steps of one) to b), but this time restarting the service.

  (f) check if the problem persists.

• I put Firefox on a computer of friends at his request, he believes that it's virus protection, don't have I have download the wrong thing, is there a virus protection of Mozilla that we are notaware of, thank you o

  Hi, I'm not familiar with Mozilla or Firefox.
  He said that it will replace a program such as Norton virus protection and tastes.
  Question is, is Firefox anti-virus protection, firewall, anti-phishing and all, download us the wrong product, or does it download something to go with it and what?
  We noticed that when we have sought the protections of virus on your site, we were transferred from your site to other sites.
  Please clarify this.
  Sorry for the long question, but we don't know anything about your program.

  Thank you

  Don

  Firefox has anti-phishing and protection of 'web attack', but it does not replace an antivirus program or a firewall.

• Security Center Windows is no protection against the virus, even if my anti virus program is updated and active

  Original title: Security Windows symbol said no protection, but my anti virus software says that there is no threat to my computer. My anti virus system is up to date (Kaspersky). Why the red with an x on it to declare shield than the anti virus protection is disabled

  My antivirus program is up to date and said that everything is fine, however the red shield with the x is always on and says no virus protection is on

  It's never happened before. What's wrong?

  Hi Pitbulls,

  Many users of Kaspersky have this same caveat, but this is a simple hoax. There is a fix to get rid of the pesky warning permanently:

  Try these steps and see if they help:

  Step 1:

  1. temporarily disable the WMI (WMI) service in:

  a. start > run

  b. type: "services.msc".

  c. and there find/stop WMI

  Step 2:

  Then delete the folder C:\windows\system32\wbem\repository

  Step 3:

  Restart the WMI service using the same procedure that you used to stop and restart the computer

  It's probably the Windows Security Center that falsely says he is off, you're not the first and it happens to all Anti Virus software brands.
