• cant get anti virus program to turn it on in the windows Security Center

  I have windows vista and an alert pops up, saying: my antivirus program is disabled. I opened Security Center says AVG anti virus reports that it is turned off. I clicked on the button, and it didn't turn it on. another box pops up asking if I trust this program click Yes, I have confidence in it. Yet once, nothing happens.  any suggestions on something that I could try.

  Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. Windows regularly checks if an antivirus program is installed on your computer, that they are running, and that it is up-to-date. The status of your antivirus program is displayed in Windows Security Center. However, Windows doesn't detect all antivirus programs, and some antivirus programs report their status to Windows.

  If you receive notifications related to security on your virus protection software, but you know that your antivirus software is installed and updated, you can follow the steps below to stop receiving these notifications. You should do this only if you are unsure that you have a full, the up-to-date antivirus program installed on your computer and that real-time scanning, which checks every file before it is opened or used, is turned on.

  To specify that you are using an antivirus program that Windows does not find

  1. Open Security Center.

  2. Click on protection against malware, and then, under virus protection, click on show me my available options.

  3. In the Windows Security Center dialog box, click on I have an antivirus program that I will control myself.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

     Security Center displays your antivirus settings as not monitored, and you will not receive more notifications about your virus protection software.

  Note

  • The show me my link options is not available when the Virus protection setting is marked on.

• Unable to connect after the automatic updates of Windows.

  I have two computers on my network, one with 7 and one with vista.  (US) both for automatic Windows update and yesterday, after both received updates, I couldn't go online.  Restored both and that solved.  Today it's the same thing.  I restored both and Windows updated together on manual.  Problem is I want to install updates, but you need to know what is happening.   Thank you

  Many other people have the same problem after the recent update of Win7.  A thread said that the culprit is update KB2705219 and you'll be OK if remove you it.  There is no other additional information that the user in question has done so successfully [I can't find the link, I checked both of these threads today].

  I have not tried to uninstall it I like my PC to install with a decent connection the last hours [no idea why].  I also have McAfee.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  In addition, you should never uninstall McAfee or any other AV application unless you have a copy of the relevant utility uninstall application.  Results to omit this step can be severe and cause quite disconcerting & apparently unrelated symptoms.  I do not recommend this as a step for the problem today, but keep this link for when / if you decide to replace McAfee - McAfee Consumer products removal tool.  For other AV applications, see list of anti-malware cleaning - program uninstall tools
