running webroot essentials of security with windows firewall
I installed essentials of webroot internet security on my PC. I notice now that my windows firewall is turn off and replaced by webroots firewall. I also noticed that in the centre network and sharing that my network discovery and file sharing are on. Also that I'm on a public network. Before I installed the webroot internet security essentials I was always on a home network and the only thing on was the password protect and sharing. Is this normal after the installation of the webroot internet security essentials. I used to run spy sweeper from webroot with antivirus, but just to switch to the bulk of new weroot. It seems webroot makes these changes to my PC. Is this normal and safe? Thank you for your time.
If you install according to their values by default, she would probably turn off Vista firewall.

You need to ask these questions Webroot Internet Security Support team.
It is their safety program, not Microsoft.

Do not assume that any malware has been removed.
This is probably the result of malware then do a very thorough check and when the system

resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

Francisco
Francisco,
You could simply stop the Microsoft Essentials if it's getting in the way.
Prevent the Microsoft Antimalware Service starts automatically
If you cannot find the software under the name mentioned in the article, locate the service called Windows Defender.
The same rule applies: set the service to manual start or disable the service.
=========================================================================
Opinions differ on the question of whether Microsoft Essentials / Defender should indeed be removed or If disabling services is sufficient.
Pouvez Avast! Pro co-exist with MS Security Essentials?
My 8.1 or OS systems, Windows Defender has been disabled (together) - no problems with Avast first.
=========================================================================
For your peace of mind, you may contact Avast and ask their opinion with reserve.

Problems with Windows Firewall
Recently, I removed Windows Live OneCare from my laptop and installed Windows Security Essentials.
I am running Vista Home Premium (32) with all of its updates. I access my internet through a network that is secured via a router.
When I turn on the Windows Firewall, my internet connection is interrupted. I still have my network connection, but do not have access to internet; the connection icon network in the system tray will blink with the globe to Flash only without the globe and goes the saying "local and internet" to "local only".
I get out at a loss to figure it and could use some help.
Thank you!
Microsoft support has helped me solve my problem!
Just a simple default reset in the security settings of the firewall.

The center of security and Windows Firewall does not.
I run MSE and Windows Firewall. The Security Center will pop up and tell me my firewall is disabled and I'm unprotected. When I check the recommendations, sometimes it is still on! Other times it is turned off, turn back on and someday or later does it again. This is what would serve turn off my Windows Firewall or give false information on it power status?
Hi saltydad,
From the description, even if you use MSE does participate or part of this problem. It is a problem between the Security Center and Windows Firewall.
First, try the following fix, as he helped others with a similar problem: http://social.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/onecarefirewall/thread/c0ca9eb2-14b0-4591-be85-4b7fd1700191/.
If this does not work, please repost it here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/security?page=1&tab=all&tm=1300700638376 and to the top where it says Windows Version uses the dropmenu to choose your version if you go on the appropriate forum for your system. They will be more than happy to help you with these questions.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Running a server of Freelancer with Windows XP and have problems with updates
I run a server for a game called freelancer who has been released by Microsoft in 2003. My problem is that, in recent years, when I tried to get the server working after doing a clean install of WinXP Pro and get the updates, the server hanging and not start working properly. After several installations with various combinations of what has been installed after the OS, I finally got the server works, but get this: the server runs only on Windows XP with NO updates. WHY?
I have a theory that I can't prove it on WinXP... When Freelancer was released in 2003, XP was new and she has no security features there now, and I think that one or more of the mess of updates with the server of DirectPlay 8 which is integral to the operation of the server. Of you Eggheads Microsoft must know what I mean... I don't know enough on XP to do more to make a guess, and it's my guess...
Thank you for allowing me to escape,
TanamirHello
DirectPlay has been moved to support engineering and is an obsolete API. This was done mainly because of security problems and the fact that most of the features of DirectPlay is no longer relevant. TCP/IP is the ubiquitous network protocol and support for the head-to-head modem, serial port,
NetBIOS, IPX and other suppliers is no longer relevant. Native API for TCP/IP in Windows is WinSock, and the usefulness of the library is so limited.
There are technologies in Windows XP SP 2 or later version that provide server under protocols of discovery to manage the features of lobbying (P2P and PNRP), and many third-party solutions exist for matching. Future Microsoft technologies for this will be based on WinSock and not of DirectPlay.
Support in future versions of the operating system will be determined primarily by the problem of application compatibility and will continue to be available through the Platform SDK for those supporting legacy streaming of DirectPlay applications.

I have been using vmware in recent years in an installation of kubuntu 12.04 without any significant problems. Recently, I decided to do a full reload of the machine and installed a copy of 14.04 vanilla kubuntu. All right, I ionstalled and launched the vmware player. Located at the instance and launched my Windows 8 operating system. He asked to be upgraded tools, to 6.0.3 build-1895310, that I be allowed to do. However, once that I loaded Windows to stop after a few seconds the blocked system. This happens whenever I close the vmware session. I have checked the syslog and don't see anything remarkable prior to the accident. This is the first time I had problems with vmware products, is there a good way to debug the cause of the accident? Has anyone seen a similar problem? Thank you in advance for your help!
I solved it. Full non-everything we discussed so far. The system has no any active swap space. It has 4 GB of RAM, which should be a lot... but for some reason, the swap has 168KO in it once vmware launches... and it is stable as can be. Only a GB of RAM is used, but it seems that vmware needs the swap to be present.
Thank you for your help, advice and support!

Hey guys. I looked up and down for a solution to this problem.
I already tried this solution:

Although the only problem is at last step when I turn on the firewall Windows or WSC (windows Security Center) since neither of them are present
in the list of the services.msc.So here I am without any windows security, no firewall and no updates. I really need help here. I was attacked by malware, a day ago, and everything happened after that. I removed the malware with program ESET NOD, but it seems that the malware corrupted my registry/safety inputs.
Thanks in advance.

Why my Windows Firewall keep turn off briefly?
I just launched a recovery on Pavilion Media Center TV m7470n desktop my father, which has restored XP Media Edition 2005 SP2. I then installed SP3 and use Windows Update to get the latest updates. The system now works fine, but from time to time, I get a popup notification that says that the Windows Firewall is disabled. The popup balloon quickly and when I enter the Security Center Windows Firewall appears as on. I did a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials and I also tried Trend Micro HouseCall and RootkitBuster. None of the scans showed no threat, but I'm still uncomfortable with the ball of myesterious to appear several times a day. Someone saw?
Now, I think the HP software that updates the computer was responsible. I tried to get the updates by running the software myself, but he says there is no update available. After a day or two, however, he popped up and told me that several updates were waiting to be installed. After you install the updates from HP, the problem with the Windows Firewall stopped.
