• Why did after downloading Windows security updates that Windows Firewall starts immediately after opening?

  Why did after downloading Windows security updates that Windows Firewall starts immediately after the connection?   This is happening with my PC and netbook, I almost hesitate to download the safety of dates in the future

  Hello

  1. What is the security update article?
  2. are there any other security software installed on your computer?

  If you have any third-party security software installed on your computer, I suggest you to disable the security software and then check if it helps.

  Note : If you need to temporarily disable the security software, you should reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks

• Installation installation of Win Vista Home premium error Windows errors can not reset the deployment engine. to install windows, restart the installation.

  Original title: Error Installing Win Vista Home premium.

  I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium.  Suddenly, it wouldn't start.  I changed the boot CD ROM and put my Vista disc in and tried to do a "repair" that it came with missing engine or something like this.  After several attempts, I gave up and formatted hard drive losing all my data and programs (rather difficult to backup files when the computer does not start).  So, I tried a complete installation.  I put in the license code and he started the installation.  After a few minutes, the message came;  "Windows Setup could not reset the deployment engine.  to install windows, restart the installation.  I tried several times including completely turn off the computer for several minutes and try again.  I tried several times.  I thought oh well, I will install my Windows 7 program (this and never used).  Error on this installation was: your CPU is only good for 32 bit and Win 7 I have is a 64-bit version.  I'D RATHER INSTALL VISTA BUT need help on the error regarding the deployment engine.  Thank you, Lloyd

• I upgraded my Vista Home premium to windows 7 ultimate, shortcuts on the desktop are not displayed, and can be created, or any folder cannot be created until the flash drive is reinserted

  during the upgradation he automatically took backup to an external flash drive, now every time I have to run has previously program I have to insert this flash drive.
  also all the shortcuts on the desktop are not displayed, and can be created, or any folder cannot be created so that the flash disk is reinserted

  Hi subhshy001,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

  Try this if you do not have

  Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder, drag and drop them on your desktop.

  If you have completed the steps and was not even useful,

  Follow these steps:

  Try to create a shortcut and sending it on the desktop.

  (1) open: Start Menu ,.
  (2) right-click: Internet Explorer icon .
  (3) select: send to > desktop (create shortcut).

  There should be a shortcut on the desktop .

  Make sure that the "show desktop icon" has a check against it

  OR

  Just click on the empty part of the desktop, choose new > then select the folder to create. Right click on this folder , select Rename it.

  If the steps above do not work then:

  You can scan your computer for malware.

  You can download, install and update anti-malware free of your favorite search engine and find malware.

  If the scan comes back clean, so I recommend doing a System File Checker too l to analyze your OS system files.

  To help resolve this problem, use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. open an elevated command prompt . To do this, click Start , click principally made programs , Accessories , right-click guest , and then click run as administrator .  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow .
  2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc) the sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. This analysis do take some time to complete.

  Hope this information helped!

• Microsoft Security Essentials replaces Windows Defender and what is the difference?

  Microsoft Security Essentials has a download of much larger definitions (45 MB) Windows Defender (about 13 MB). That means more MSE WD do? The current definitions of MSE download contains the same version of engine 1.1.5502.0 as the current update of WD. How about a link to MS site to learn what MSE; In addition, compared to the WD curiously enough, can not find such a link on the MSE sites.

  Norton, to less than the latest version, is a Devourer of known resources.

• Question from Windows Explorer/view - images from the image file can be displayed instead of simply as an icon?

  Under Windows Explorer/view when I click on a folder of images I got a list of icons with jpg file name. It is difficult to imagine what is in the photo with DSC0526, or IMG7322, or NB67388. I thought that it would be much more convenient if images are displayed instead of simply as an icon. Is there a way to do this?

  Hello

  If McAfee is expired then you must uninstall it and run the McAfee removal tool to avoid problems of
  remains of the original. There are recommendations of the antivirus configurations for free below.

  McAfee - removal tool
  http://service.McAfee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?ID=TS100507

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

  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 leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  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
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

  Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (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.

• 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!
