  • Action Center indicating I no. Anti-Spyware when I do

    I used SUPERAnti-Spyware, SpyBot S & D and Microsoft Security Essentials on my Windows7 booty. I use on my Windows 8 SUPERAnti-Spyware, SpyBot S & D and Windows Defender.
    I've installed IObit Advanced Systemcare anti-virus. Before installing on my W7, I uninstalled MSE. It installed with no problems and it uninstalled SUPERAnti-Spyware, what is called the anti-malware software incompatible. This went well.
    But I did the same thing on Win8, and now Action Center of Win8 tells me that I have no Anti-Spyware software although I have installed SpyBot.
    No idea why this is so?

    James

    It's a common enough question and ESET NOD32 is treated in the same way. As long as you are sure that you have the right protection and has not been compromised by malicious software, ignore what Action Center said you...

    Hello

    SuperAntiSpyware deals only spyware.

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you

    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).

    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • Re: Satellite P775 program reacts to different anti-virus software

    Hello

    I bought my Toshiba laptop at the beginning of October 2011, so it can be called to a 'new' laptop.
    It's a Satellite P770.

    I took the 30 day trial free McAfee immediately after purchase and have not renewed since. After the purchase, I had also installed Ad-Aware, Spybot S & D and AVG to take care of the protection on a daily basis. Everything worked well until earlier this week, when it asked me to update my Ad-Aware to the latest version, and since the computer was slow morbid, each program invariably always end up with "is not responding.

    My browser (Google Chrome) gets as much as my homepage, but I can't connect to any site. I tried to uninstall Ad-Aware (I thought that this must be the problem), but it won't let me. I've heard about the incompatibility of some anti virus McAfee, this could be one of them?

    If there is incompatibility between Ad-Aware and McAfee, surely it does not explain the painful speed of my laptop and its lack of reaction. This is something I can only imagine is a virus.

    Could I please have a help on this?

    My warranty would cover such a problem if I returned my Toshiba Toshiba for that particular difficulty?

    Thanks in advance,

    Cameron

    > My warranty would cover such a problem if I returned my Toshiba Toshiba for that particular difficulty?

    Hello Cameron

    Of way General Toshiba has nothing to do with your problem. If you use the combination of different applications and now, you are not happy with the computers portable performance contact software manufacturers and their management of aid.

    What everyone here can say, and even you will hear from Toshiba, is that you must reinstall the Toshiba recovery image and start using the laptop with factory again. I put t understand why do you use McAffe and AVG at the same time.

    Either use preinstalled McAffe or remove it from the system and install other applications antvirus. I recommend http://www.avira.com/en/index. I use it for years and she is really good antivirus application.

  • What is the prevalence of viruses, malware, etc., to be hidden and undetectable by anti-virus software?

    • As before, when my computer when my computer has been infected, I get a svchost.exe error, repeatedly, whenever I restart the computer. The infection has been discovered that the last time by my anti-virus software, because it was hidden.  It was a computer expert on this forum who told me my computer was infected by svchost.exe repeated error messages that I received.  I ran my Avast software, anti-malware software from MSFT Security Center, Win Defender, etc. this time, and it has detected no infections.  (Yes, I know what to do to pass this message means not necessarily my computer is infected, but the tech guy said that it is likely, given that the error message appeared on several occasions).  How detect and destroy the virus/malware hidden, etc?
    • Also, if anyone can answer another question... I was told that it is not recommended that I have two programs of anti-virus software, which I do - Win Defender and Avast (I guess they may conflict).  I tend to want to keep Avast, but would like to know if I have to keep Win Defender instead, because it is a Win a Win system program.  If I've got this me getting rid of one of them, is it recommended that I both uninstall and then reinstall one of them?

    A person help would be appreciated!

    Thnx, Dharma

    WHAT I HAVE: Win XP Media Center, MS Office 7 Professional (used at home), IE8, Outlook 7, HP w / 32-bit dual core processor, latest version of Avast & Win Defender, Srvc Pack 2 and 3 (although I know that I don't need 3 because I have not upgraded to Win 7, but it won't let me uninstall it!) and regularly updates Win.

    PS Please ask questions if you have, before you answer, so it will be less likely that I'll get the wrong answers that don't relate directly my questions! (Can say you that has already happened?  (LOL).

    You pouvez have a type of rootkit of malware infection.  Rootkits can transform and change of identity on your OS (and are difficult to detect and remove) and many computing professionals recommend a reinstall of the operating system in order to ensure that the rootkit is removed.

    Follow the suggestions in the Brian - post.  The link that he provided is an excellent reference.   If you have a rootkit, TDSS Killer or one of the other programs listed pourrait be able to remove it.

    You can also:

    You can get free help in the removal of malware from MS Support here: http://supportservices.microsoft.com/support/services/virus_malware_removal

    If you are in North America, you can call the MS Support to 866-727-2338 for help with infections of virus and spyware.

    For international information see your subsidiary local technical support site.

    Or get assistance from Avast at: http://www.avast.com/support

    You have SP3 on your Win XP OS and if you plan to switch to Win 7 make sure that your processor and RAM will manage Win 7... with your history of technology issues a reformatting/clean install of Win 7 would be a good idea.  Because of the possibility of conflicts, I do not recommend using Windows Defender with Avast or any other resident AV program.  Suggest uninstall you Windows Defender in Control Panel.  MSE and several other AV programs require the removal of Windows Defender in XP (or disabling the Defender in Vista and Win 7).

    • Attempted to launch the Scanner and even once, was not allowed.

    Where am I today? I can't always run antivirus software and my computer is currently not protected... online security with networking Mode.

    Any suggestions?

    You cannot save your programs - a clean installation wipe everything from the hard drive.  Programs need to be reinstalled (they cannot be copied or saved) - and you probably wouldn't do anyway because there is a good chance that some of the infected files can reside in these same programs.  The ONLY way to avoid this is to get your hands on a real Windows Vista Installation disc, so we can attempt a repair system/upgrade where your programs will be preserved (and we don't know yet if that will completely solve the problem of infection but it probably will restore the functionality at least for a certain period of time).

    Sorry for the bad news, but that's just how it is.

  • Vista Anti-Spyware continues to operate and has only browse to an Internet Explorer upgrade.

    We have recently installed McAfee Anti-virus on our computer.  Vista Anti-Spyware continues to operate and has only browse to an Internet Explorer upgrade.

    How can I make the default antivirus McAfee for computer and remove Vista Anti-Spyware?  It is not in my software to uninstall.

    Thank you

    Sarah

    Sarah;

    Your system is infected with a rogue security application.  Use these instructions to remove it:

    If you had a legitimate anti-virus installed before McAfee, did you remove it with a removal tool specialized Publisher of this previous anti-virus before installing McAfee?  Inability to completely remove previously installed security real-time applications can cause performance problems, system instability and even reduced the new facilities of security features.
