• Windows Update disables competing anti-virus programs

  I use Norton anti-virus for nearly a decade.  For this reason, I have not installed Windows Security, as it is in conflict.  I do every week a routine Windows Update.  Two nights ago, it looks like Windows Update automatically installed Windows security without my permission.  This has created a huge conflict with Norton anti-virus, various alerts of infection appeared and my network of connections have been disabled.  I had no choice but to do a system restore and disable Windows Update altogether.  I want to update Windows for occasional useful bugfixes, but cannot take the risk of extreme hassle of security of Windows being installed without my permission.  Any ideas?

  So far, the system restore and the sweet Norton seems to have fixed.  But he was mean.

• Windows Update disabled

  Since Windows Update is disabled, a manual check of updates can still be made or is Windows Update must be on a manual to check for?

  How Windows Update is turned off?

• I've corrected the 10 Feb Windows update BSOD issue. What to do next?

  Like many others my infographic died with a BSOD after the windows update Feb10th. Returning the suggested KB977165 had no effect, but fortunately after returning all the updates, my computer is back to life.
  I have now a computer with windows update disabled with an update waiting that I suspect is causing the BSOD again if I turn on updates.
  The various forums etc I found will tell you how to recover your computer on but none that I have found tell me if I can go back to windows update or how carefully remove any update caused the BSOD.
  I haven't tried the "no support for Windows Update problems" for an answer and gave with an automated response telling me to try here.
  Can someone please point me to a 'next steps' to recover completely from this?

  I've heard reports of infected, media files cj. The two movies and songs that have been downloaded through Limewire.  If I hear anything else about it, I will be sure to post it here. All the protection we use still depends on who is using the keyboard or mouse click.

  Suggest that you scan the system with Malwarebytes anti-malware , too.  Download the free version, install and allow update when installed.
  Then click on the button scan and use the default quick scan setting. Once the scan is complete click on the button to display the results.
  If sure all detected object is checked and then click on the button select Remove.
  If nothing is detected, I would start the system into safe mode and do a Full scan, too. It will take time to finish but worth it.

  One way that you would be able to be almost certain to 100% that you have detected and deleted all the bad creatures is to shoot on the hard drive, install it as a slave on another system and then scan the HD active.
  Or you can create a BartsPE or Linux boot cd and the scanner without having to shoot HD.

  Anyway is not elegant, to say the least, and not give the same level of confidence you would have with (ugh) formatting and reinstalling.

  Well HP, I can fortunately smile and call you useless, I solved this problem with the rapid storage driver of intel in conflict with other things here. So, if you cannot restart and have just restored and google and found yourself here, don't activate windows update, disable via the services.msc windows and download updates manually, and drivers from HP or your God of machines.

• Update Windows KB915597 disabled my card (nVidia GeForce 9300GE) graphics

  Reposted
  Hi, after updated windows updated 10/19/09 my graphics card has been disabled (nVidia GeForce 9300GE). I tried to activate the device, prompting the update driver, and the update failed to install the device became "not recognized".  I restored the system before the update and everything was ok until the PC has been stopped and restarted.  I have been through the process of restoring about 6 times, each time, try another way of preventing recurrence for example turn off the automatic updates, uninstall KB915597, etc., but nothing works. Is there a permanent solution to this mess?
  PS my system is Vista on a 64-bit AMD Phenom X 4 processor.
  Thank you

  Hello

  Uninstall the driver of graphics completely, and then restart the computer.
  Then re-install the graphics card driver by downloading from:

• Windows Update was disabled by your system administrator

  I was playing with a system configuration utility and decided that I didn't like it so I uninstalled. Several days passed before I noticed something wrong. Now my Update window buttons are missing from start / all programs/windows update and Internet explore/tools/windows update. When I do a windows update, I get a message error "windows update was disabled by your system administrator. If I set the automatic update, it works fine. I preferred to do windows update manually, so it don't interrupt me wile I do something. I've been in contact with the software support and they tell me to do the antivirus scans. I ran malwarebytes, found nothing. Kaspersky found some problems and clean. I've been in touch with tech Kaspersky forum and they give me a certificate of good health. No two seem to be much help to solve the problem.  I can't know this, but I think not what what Kaspersky found in my firefox cache caused this. Can you help me solve this problem?

  Hi Pumpshot,

  Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities.

  I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

  I suggest you try the steps from the following link:

  You receive one or more error messages when the system administrator disables Windows Update or Microsoft Update
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326686

  Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article: back up the registry in Windows 7

• Firewall Windows disable the Internet Explorer loads Up after slow start after the installation of Windows updates

  Hello, (this the mystery of on and Off and back on Windows Firewall with slow loading of programs like Internet Explorer as this all is pass it on firewall, disable the firewall, the firewall, it occurs only during starts, after he fine / but very annoying on reboots whom he accuses of my computer down) / listed below is the cause of it , and when she first started, you have a solution?

  I recently installed the last 16 (High Profile) updates to security, for most security updates and updates from net framework as well as the removal of malware for windows XP tool.

  After installing these updates, now my Windows Firewall turns off during 'Boot Up' on all restarts. If I try to load Internet Explorer, it will also not load up to minutes serveral / while this happens... That's fine, then finally my firewall itself loads Up quickly turns to Internet Explorer and back on during this time around the same time.

  After these updates these things are happening on my computer now, it's as if there is a process running, but nothing run any virus, Trojan or worm etc just these updates caused this problem. I don't know if it updates is corrupt or not, but have tried different things as system file checker /scan etc with no luck.

  (1) computer boots to the top and seems to Load Up Fine ' until the ' or 'Look at this' but isn't, something is running in the background or process "wing unstalled" is obviously "unhooked", etc..

  2) try to load Internet Explorer last minutes and is very slow to load up, even if I 'don't load Internet Explorer' must still a long while that as in the firewall turn off for awhile some several «minutes» (way too long), before "auto turn on automatically return.

  (3) turns firewall Windows itself on "finally" as Internet Explorer finally loads upwards as well the two Internet Explorer is able to load 'definitely' and the firewall is on "finally" as many minutes later as listed above, at the same time.

  This could be the cause? Only, it has begun to 'After' I ran windows update and installed the 'most recently high security updates for windows XP' there were 16 listed mainly security updates and updates of net framework as well as the software removal tool windows malware.

  That's all that is changed on my system, I tried many things, nothing seems to fix this problem with my computer. I know for a fact that these updates are the cause, but am not sure that you caused it? Or how do to solve this problem, any sugguestions would be appreciated.

  Please answer questions following diagnosis by number in your very next answer (no need to quote this post):

  1. what application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  2 a Norton or McAfee application already installed on the computer?

  3. do you have a Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

  4. you are using IE6, IE7 or IE8?

  5. have you ALREADY had the opportunity to do a Repair Installation of Windows XP for some reason any?

• Disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail and problems with the Windows Firewall, Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows updates.

  Original title: Windows Live Hotmail only opens a new window links e-mail composition!

  I recently put my Windows Live Hotmail account to my default e-mail client in Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 System. Unfortunately, whenever I click on a link to e-mail on a Web page to open a new message, Hotmail tells me, "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Hotmail right now", and a new/compose message window does not open. I disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail, which fixed the problem. However, when I went to do a manual update of Windows, I am nailed with a Trojan horse! Apparently, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials have been affected by turning off HTTPS in Hotmail! It's 2012, and it's terribly disappointing that Microsoft only has not ironed out all the imperfections in these services now. If anyone can give me a solution (in simple terms), I would appreciate it!

  Thank you
