• Windows Vista security alert sending indicating virus attack and does not allow me to get security alerts. How to bypass or disable?

  Windows Vista security alert sending indicating virus attack and does not allow me to get security alerts.  How to bypass or disable?  I have another anti-spyware (Kapersky) program that manages all aspects and indicates no virus found.

  I want to disable Vista, but it won't let me and the only solution it says is to download a update for a cost.  Help, please.

  The 'alert' is not from Vista. Your computer is infected by a rogue security program. It's called "thugs" because he pretended to be a good guy but is really bad. Don't pay them!

• Vista - true or false security alert?

  All of a sudden I'm getting pop ups saying Vista Security Alert, etc... I have both the shield of the normal color of four in the bin AND red with an X on it. If I go to the control panel-Security Center, etc...

  When I click on "change the way Security Center alerts me." I get another window, but all options are ghosts. It also says 'Vista Security - unregistered Version'. The only way apparently to get rid of it is to buy the Vista security. I've had this computer for nine months, and this is the first problem like this.

  Any advice? Thanks in advance.

  If you have a DVD of Vista without SP then you will need to uninstall SP1 to use that

  you will need to uninstall SP2 to use the disc and later re - install SP2.

  I have Symantec Endpoint Protection installed on my computer and my Windows Firewall is disabled.

• The "Malware Protection" part of the Security Center Windows has stopped working.

  When I start my computer, I get an alert from my Windows Security Center that Windows Defender is disabled (it isn't) and that my anti-virus is turned off (it is not). All other sections of the pole security running OK. This problem started about 25 April 2010. I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium, I have Spyware Blaster, Windows Defender, and Ad-Aware, I was using Panda Cloud antivirus. When the problem started, I uninstalled Panda and installed AVG free. I also installed Malwarebyte s anti-malware. I have run in normal mode and in safe mode and not found anything. I also ran Windows defender. The only modification made before the surfacing of the problem was that I've updated Spyware Blaster to their new version. Does anyone have a suggestion?

  Hello Poppyw,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

  As Windows Defender features Protection actions in real-time against spyware, the problem may be due to an installation of another product that also offers anti-spyware protection.

  To resolve this problem, you can perform a clean boot to determine if a background program may interfere.

  To do this, please see the link below:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  You can also view the link below, provided by the software vendor with information about the installation of AVG:

• After installation of Service Pack 1 for Vista 64 bits, Windows Security says Malware and firewalls are off.

  I recently reinstalled my copy of Vista 64 bit I hope to solve this problem that has been with me for a while.  Before I wiped and reloaded, Security Center Windows would alert me every day that my firewall protection and malware have been disabled.

  I use Kaspersky Internet Security, which is fully updated and works as it should.  I am able to activate Windows Firewall and bypass the firewall Kaspersky and that error to go away, however, I can't remove the error of malicious software.  I got all these errors directly after a restart after the installation of service pack 1.

  Under Windows Security Center it says, "Kaspersky Internet Security reports that it is turned off," under the heading for malware protection.  When I click on the button to activate under Windows Security, it goes through the steps who say do you trust this program, Yes, Yes, ok.  After choosing all the options of trust Kaspersky and activate this protection, he thinks about it a little, but always returned and said it's off.  It also has a green light saying that Windows Defender is actively protecting your computer.

  I think that my Internet Security Suite is successfully active in these areas and work I checked the menu, check that they work.  In my opinion, after installation of service pack 1 that something I have messed up in the statement that those programs are active or really uninstalled them.

  Even if I can get the only message that the Kaspersky firewall is disabled to disappear by enabling the Windows Firewall, which is not yet as I want.  I want the suite of internet security that I paid to be active and functional on the side of the Windows security features.

  I would appreciate any help with this problem by addressing why he continues to warn me that my protection malware and firewalls are disabled.  Thank you.

  Also install Windows Vista SP2 this problem could be solved, otherwise try to uninstall and reinstall Kaspersky and also, try to get the latest version of Kaspersky.

  If still the same issue please contact Kaspersky support.

  What The Red Shield keeps popping up with two questions in the Windows Security Center;

  (1) firewall does not run.

  (2) anit-virus Malware software is not running.

  Usually after a while it will reset and run, or I would go on the page of the security configuration to start a program.

  However, recently, the settings will not be reset, and it became an ongoing problem. He seems to have understood

  worse with Windows updates.

  He had a command back to review and reset the settings of windows Security Center in a solution under Windows

  but I wasn't able to find it again (the help has been restructured)

  ·                         If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default

  the basics of Microsoft security has its own version of windows defender

  and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware

  It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do

  If the above does not apply to your machine to read the information on the below link on how to disable the windows defender service in vista or make an autostart to enable

• Microsoft Security Essentials disables Windows Defender in Vista?

  Can error 0x800106ba on any attempt to open code I Defender. I also acquired McAfee at some point, but I uninstalled it hundreds of years ago but I still have the same error message whenever I try to open Windows Defender. Help, please

  It is not fair to McAfee posing problem with the Defender:

  Windows Defender:

  If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

  Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and should automatically disable the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

  If it's not:

  Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

  See you soon.

  Hello, just to be sure I have the correct information, Windows Defender lights not in Windows Vista with Microsoft Security Essentials, as Essentials has its own version of the Defender.  The error code I received is the same as the previous posts in which is: 0x800106ba.  Again, just to be sure, I understand, I should stop trying to turn Defender because Security Essentials has covered it, okay?

  Hello

  Yes; Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender for the reasons you mentioned.

  If she didn't turn it off, you should manually have to do it anyway.

  This information explains Microsoft explained:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/protect/Forum/MSE-protect_start/Windows-Defender-and-Microsoft-Security-Essentials/5309cb8d-02e1-40E8-974f-0dcedb9ab9fd

  Q: is - this installation of Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7) disable Windows Defender?
  A: Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender in Vista and Windows 7, and then uninstall it from XP. In some cases, this does not happen automatically.
   

  Q: what happens if I do not disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7)?
  A: If Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender are both running, your system can know the performance degradation and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time.

  See you soon.
