problem Windows xp and avg internet security

Program AVG Internet Security - AVG PC Tune Up - changed/corrupted my Windows Defragmenter program.  Before downloading the free version of this Tune Up program that I had always used the drive Windows Cleanup and Defragmenter programs. When I now try to defragment my files I get the following message when I try to analyse the "Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c). Please run Chkdsk/f.

AVG 2 offer help options a) contact Microsoft) b computer restoration to date before you download Tune Up.

Do not use my computer for anything else on internet purchases, store my pictures, my banking and the strange E-mail but does not want to resume a year.  All of the suggestions. I have disinstalled program AVG PC Tune Up months trying to make my computer run faster.  AVG informed me that my security bought 18 month program there is need the upgrade and that is why its doing all my programs so slow.  I don't have any computer talk or knows anything much about them (code of machine 20 years ago!)

(a) contacting Microsoft won't help you
(b) restore your computer won't help you

The problem is your HARD drive has been marked "sale" and you cannot defragment a dirty volume.

Your HARD drive may have been marked dirty of a power interruption, using the power button, pulling the plug, abnormal termination, aborted reboot, etc..

You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

Click Start, run and enter in the box:

cmd

Click OK to open the command prompt window.

For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type this command:

fsutil dirty query C:

The sample output:
Volume c is dirty
Volume C: is dirty

Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

No amount of order entry, no amount of editing the registry deletes the on a volume's dirty bit (sorry that Microsoft committed 'experts' Support Engineer)

Only a chkdsk with error correction (chkdsk/r) can clear the dirty bit, and it might not work the first time.

To run chkdsk/r, click on start, run and enter in the box:

Chkdsk /r

Click OK and the answer you want volume checked on next reboot (restart of course).

This disk check can last a long time (perhaps several to several hours) depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what the disk check finds to do.  You may need to run more than once.

When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you have chosen to do it yourself, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log and no problems after running chkdsk.

To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

%SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

Click OK to launch the event viewer.

Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

Event type: Information
Event source: Winlogon
Event category: no
Event ID: 1001
Description:

Checking file system on C:

The type of the file system is NTFS.
A disk check has been programmed.
Windows will now check the disk.
39070048 KB total disk space.
25151976 KB in 78653 files.
48256 KB in 10264 index.
0 KB in bad sectors.
237080 KB in use by the system.
65536 KB occupied by the log file.
13632736 KB available on disk.
Windows has finished checking your disk.

If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, run chkdsk /r again until you see no error.  You should have no errors.

Check again the dirty bit.  Rinse and repeat if you wish.

  • Microsoft Windows XP and Norton Internet Security

    Hello
    I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Portege R200. After the new installation of MS Windows XP Professional with SP2 and all recommended Toshiba drivers and utilities and the installation of Norton Internet Security 2005 AntiSpyware Edition laptop starts repeatedly with delay. The delay is manifested by jump for 1 to 2 minutes between when the icons are loaded on the desktop and programs (their icons) are loaded into the system tray. In this break, the system tray has no answer to all actions and the CPU is fully charged (the fan continues its maximum). In addition, sometimes the computer doesn´t wake up from sleep or hibernation mode.
    I saw this problem with Symantec Corp., and they confirmed my suspicions that some Toshiba drivers or utilities collide with Norton Internet Security system services, but they don t know which of course.

    I want to ask you if you know something about this problem because there are a lot of utilities and drivers Toshiba and it is impossible to just try on which we put problem and it is also impossible to use Norton Internet Security on my laptop.

    I would like to add that all used Toshiba drivers and utilities are up-to-date as well as MS Windows XP and Norton Internet Security. The computer has certainly no viruses as well.

    Thank you.

    Hello Martin

    I had the same problem with the Satellite P20 (1 GB of RAM). I installed the Sophos anti-virus application and after that, I noticed the same situation. The delay is certainly due after installing antivir software. I deleted and everything works fine now.

    It makes sense that the software companies are trying to complain of producers for laptop but my experience is that Toshiba has designed tools and utilities have no influence on the applications of antivir. I recommend you to test different applications with antivir. I tested it with Trend Micro PC - cillin Internet security and AntiVir guard. Two of them works well, and I noticed that the problem has disappeared.

    Good bye

  • Windows Defender and Norton Internet Security? What are the differences, and that I would be better off with NIS.___NIS it has automatic connections which is great.___Thank you. Dennis__

    None

    Windows Defender is an antispyware software.  In itself, it does not all the protection your computer needs.

    Norton Internet Security is a suite of programs, including antivirus, antispyware, firewall, antispam and others.

    Windows 7 consumer security software providers shows those and other opportunities.

    I'm not a fan of security suites.  On my computer, I use the free program of Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus and antispyware protection integrated in Windows 7 is Windows Firewall .

  • AVG Internet Security and AVG PC Tuneup will cause problems after upgarding to Windows 10?

    Original title: AVG vs 10 widows

    I used AVG Internet Security 2015 and AVG PC Tuneup 2015.  They will create no problem if I install Windows 10 as a replacement for Windows 7 Home Edition? wouldn't be better to remove them?

    If you look at the AVG support community there is not a lot of issues with AVG and Windows 10 products and the few that you can read on are resolved quickly - usually with an AVG uninstall and reinstall (especially after the migration of the BONE).

    If you are migrating your Windows 7 to Windows 10 I think I would uninstall all AVG products if they don't get in the way, completed the transition from OS and then reinstall AVG products from scratch on Windows 10.  Some problems of AVG support are usually solved with uninstall/reinstall anyway.

    From the looks of the circulation in this Windows 7 community, you're more likely to have questions Windows 7 migration to Windows 10 (or try to go back) with AVG.

  • AVG Internet Security maintains the 'blocking' Windows updates

    I am running Windows XP Home SP3 on my machine. I recently pushed a rootkit/trojan infection. My AVG Internet Security v9 is running and updated very well... something which it did in a month because of the infection. My Windows Firewall and automatic updates are enabled. (Which is also disabled during infections). I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded/installed the critical updates 43 (the infection had turned off automatically updated). However all the time I download and install the updated my AVG kept popping up with a deadlock message:

    'au.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/crup/2012/07_467626d3805abcce3d926b85d8928a20d5edc05b.exe '.

    (I continued to close the notification window and download or install updates. Each of them went through).

    My Windows security shield has an exclaimation point on this subject.

    Is it is a sort of conflict between AVG and update of Windows?

    Please HELP... it makes me craaaaazy since it appears every 20 seconds or so!

    Thank you very much

    Anoop P K,.

    Thanks for the suggestion on disabling the antivirus! I didn't turn off the whole program (which would be 'reisdent shield' on AVG). I have disabled the internet part (shield online) since it pops up constantly during the update downloads.

    Sure enough... that did the trick. Updates downloaded and installed.

    This part of the virus program is turned back on.

    So far so good. Automatic updates seems to be to download and install without any interference of AVG Internet Security.

    Thank you for taking the time to help.

  • 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.

I recently installed a genuine copy of AVG internet security 2011, it of OK for the first days, but after a few days, has been disabled firewall AVG & windows firewall is enabled. I tried to move the AVG firewall, but could not succeed. Can someone help me? There could be a problem of setting. Tried a lot, but was of no use.

    Hi SunilSherekar,

    -What happens when you try to activate the AVG firewall? You receive an error message or error code? If Yes, indicate the same.

    When you encounter this problem with AVG, I recommend you post your request in the Support AVG forums to improve assistance in this regard.

  • Even after you remove AVG Internet Security 2012 on computer, Microsoft Security Center says its execution

    removal of avg internet security 2012 and Security Center microsoft says that it runs. Help plez

    You have disabled AVG before you run the removal tool?

    You will also be able to stop AVG by disabling startup items.

    To identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
     http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

    Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

  • Problems with the closure, by opening the Task Manager and Norton Internet Security. Help, please!

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7 with Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit). Until Monday, there is no problem whatsoever with my computer at all. I have not installed or uninstalled, whatever it be, changed settings, done anything differently with my computer. Suddenly it now "hangs" on the screen of closing down. I'll try to reboot or stop using the menu start, and it will stay on this screen indefinitely. Now, I have to manually turn off the computer. I spent on the Support page and studied the Performance issues, and all I get is I have Visual settings that interfere with closing... except my Visual settings have not changed in any way. In addition, I can not properly update my computer or do a system restore because the computer will shut down.

    In addition, the Task Manager will appear no more. I'll press ctrl alt del and nothing appears, just the green icon in the corner of the screen. If I try to right click, no response.

    I tried to do a full system scan in Norton Internet Security but she "leaves" scanning. It will scan correctly when I'm in safe mode, but it comes with no virus, trojan or other problem.

    So in essence, I tried everything I can think of to fix my computer nothing works. It was working perfectly before this week. I have no idea where to go. Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello
     
     
    Method 1.
    First check to see if there are external devices attached to the computer, if so remove and check.
     
    Method 2.
    Step A.

    Start your computer in safe mode and check if it starts.
     
    Step B.
    If it starts on the desktop in safe mode and then set your computer to the clean boot and check if it starts successfully. If it starts successfully can be a third-party application or service is causing the problem. We can use the approach 50 / 50 to narrow down the root cause of the problem.

    See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
     
     
    Method 3.
    I recommend to run the restore of the system in safe mode and check if it works very well.
    Reference:
    System Restore: frequently asked questions
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions
    Note: If you use system restore when the computer is in safe mode, you can not undo the restore operation. However, you can run System Restore again and choose a different restore point if any.
     
     
    I hope this helps.
