  b. double-click Security Center, click on tab log .

  c. Select "this account" click on the Browse button, type Local Service and click ok.

• Security Center: can not turn on

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas: can depend on a Security Center. Right click and the button start is not bold. How can I restore it? I use windows vista and can not understand the system restore?

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  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.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

• Windows Security Center won't turn on!

  Hello
  I recently tried to download something on which my McAfee jumped up to tell me that Trojans had been detected and removed. Needless to say, I deleted that has been downloaded.
  Since that incident, my Microsoft Security Center was off and on again, whereas before it had worked, even with my McAfee.
  Also had problems with Windows Defender, which does not at all, even though reading some other questions in the forum, I summised that he is a McAfee-Defender compatibility issue and followed the steps recommended to turn off defender.
  Downloaded SUPERAntiSpyware and am currently running so far, no threat detected.
  I am at a loss to know what to do now to unravel the Security Center!
  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.
  Help, please!

  Hi Steve,.

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums.

  You please try and run a restore of the system to a date and a time before when you installed the program prompted by McAfee to say you had a virus.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. click on Start, type System Restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click Next.

  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  4. click on Finish.

  All the steps listed above comes from the following article: (feel free to refer to this article if you want more details.)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212

  Please post back and let us know if you could use Windows Media Center after you do a system restore to a date and time before the error.

• Windows Vista Security Center reports that I have no firewall protection or malicious software.

  Everything on my system was adequate and functional on 16/10/2010 with the Security Center notification that I was using Kaspersky 2010 with firewall protection and malware on the value.

  On 17/10/2010 update downloaded and installed windows 17 updated successfully. The system has been shut down, but restarting the system, the following Security Center said security problems that no firewall was there was no malware protection.

  After checking Kaspersky it said that all facilities are on and working.

  The Security Center also identifies a program Avanquest fix it is obsolete and did not provide security with a solution center to question. This piece of software has not served more than a year, and while it is still in the system, it is inactive.

  Anyone else has a problem with the last set of updates Vista?

  Updates that took place after the restore point have been removed, if these programs need to be updated again (it is the restoration of the operating system - in fact, that's why it works).  It works simply on the updates of Windows, but on the updates or installations of any kind (except changes to the data).  This is not a problem and should completely (and was mentioned in my post above).  Reinstall the updates and you'll be fine here.

  System Restore may take a long time.  L ' turn off in the Middle can cause problems - problems, different problems and even serious problems.  If updates are still there (and you encounter other problems which essentially the same that you started with most of the time), then the system restore did not work or was not correctly filled (but it make some changes if some of your edits are no longer working at least partially and perhaps even completely) (, but just was not given enough time).  I suggest you try again and this time give him more time to finish - say a few hours at least, or maybe more, given the current circumstances.  To do this before you perform any relocation above because they will be lost again.

  I don't understand the issue of e-mail messages.  What do you mean by 'coded '?  What email program are you using?  I suspect that this may be the result of turning off the system before restoring it finished (or the problem with the system restore if it worked actually).  A successful restoration will solve I hope that whatever it is as well - but if we cannot get this to work, we need to abandon this effort at least for the moment.

  If this does not work, then I suggest you follow the advice of Malke (assuming that you have not already) and explain your efforts with the restoration of the system and the results that occurred as well so that they fully understand the situation.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• After an automatic update by McAfee SecurityCenter, Windows Security Center can't detect that McAfee is installed.

  Today, McAfee SecurityCenter automatically updated itself in version 10.5. Following this update, Windows Security Center detects that McAfee is present on the system, but McAfee reports that it is fully operational.

  I already tried to solve the problem using a technique of prompt involving repository.old - on the advice of McAfee support - but it did not work. The McAfee account is held by a member of the family, it is not possible for me to access for re - download the software. Is there anything else I can do?

  This is problem with McAfee and I suggest request support to help you, but you can also try to update Windows and make sure you havelatest service pack and also check you might be able to upgrade to the version of newser free McAfee.

• I can't activate the Windows Firewall after infection by the virus. I get the error: due to a not identifiable problem

  has been affected by a virus that has destroyed essential elements of security and turned off the firewall. I reinstalled essentials, but cannot open the firewall program to reactivate "due to a not identifiable problem" that windows does not recognize. What can I do to fix this?

  It is unlikely that all damages that are left behind.

  Restore the system to factory settings.  Update all drivers hardware devices with the appropriate constructors.  Update the operating system completely patched.  Install applications of your backups of installation media and series/product numbers keys.  Updated all of the latest patches.  Restore all your personal data.  Enjoy your own and probably faster running machine.

  I suggest you also protect it with a compbination of eSet NOD32 AntiVirus and MalwareBytes (paid version) to ~ 85USD for the first two years and ~ $60 every two years after.  One of the best combination of performance and protection, I found.

• My Security Center cannot see that my Windows Defender and Kaspersky PURE are active, how to fix this?

  Whenever I invoke the turn on now, he fails to get the updates (if the Defender is out of date) or it's up-to-date (because I've updated through the Defender on the interface). Regarding anti-virus, Security Center reports that Kaspersky PURE (obviously running not far from the clock on the toolbar) is / was not found. You can see in the screenshot below. Please note that Kaspersky PURE runs (lower right corner of the image) despite Security Center claiming otherwise.

  Is there something wrong with the part of my Vista operating system or what? How I solved this 'blindness' of the Security Center? Thank you.

  According to this link, you should not use Kaspersky Pure and Windows Defender on the same computer: http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208281579

  Try disabling Windows Defender and restart the computer.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

  If the "Security Center" does not always recognize Kaspersky, suggest contact Kaspersky Support or ask for help in the Forum Vista:
