When I connect online, network discovery & automatically turned on file sharing. Why?

Hi all
I always try to disable any feature I don't want espicially services that could affect my privacy (I always check before connecting online is the most important thing: network discovery and file sharing) I turn them off, then I connect online... .but when I log off or restart and reconnect the file sharing turns on again automatically.
Disabling the network discovery and file sharing for ever?
Thank you
Martine information for all

Hi solmyacrobatpdf,

I'm sorry to know that you still have the problem.

If you have Norton Security, then try to change its settings in Norton to turn off file sharing and check if it helps.

  • Why I still see other appearing in my list of wireless network connection when network discovery is turned off?

    Why other users who are are my nearby?

    Can I be sure that they cannot see me when discovery of the network on my computer is off?

    Should I worry about these other users?

    I am the only computer in my home group, and my wife uses a Tablet using my wireless network key. but no one else has access to my home group.

    Discovery Network turns off the discovery of other devices that are already inside your trusted network (like your TV system game, tablets, phones and other computers).

    It does not affect the list of wireless network connection, which is actually just a list of wifi nearby broadcasting system has found.  You can not turn off without turning off your wifi.  But this isn't a security problem.

    Hi Peter,.

    1. the problem persists with a specific file?

    2. What is the record?

    Method 1: Check if the files are hidden.

    Show hidden files (Windows 7)

    Method 2: Use the Microsoft Safety Scanner in full scan mode and remove all threats that is not detected by it and see if the problem persists.

    If the person who has published the presentation (with presenter I guess) on the server has not chosen to also download the source files, then it is no PPT (X) and the presenter on the server source files zip to download.

  • Issues with Dell desktop computer wireless and D-Link wireless network card. Only able to get wireless access by checking "Use Windows to configure my wireless network". This kind of file sharing impossible.

    original title: can't see the computer on wireless internet!

    I hope that's not too much detail, but I would like that the sequence of events to be clear...

    I have a Dell desktop computer that's probably six or seven years now.  It did not come with a wireless card, so I bought a DLink router and combo card wireless, install both with the DLink software.  It works beautifully.

    Later, we through my rep AT & T DSL, I got a Motorola modem/router with wireless capabilities.  I had plugged directly on my computer Dell desktop and moved to a Dell laptop DLink wireless receiver.  No problems.

    The Dell laptop is dead and the DLink receiver has not been used for a long time.  Family of my daughter moved to our place, and I have connected his desktop computers and laptop to wireless internet, using the Windows Connection Wizard.  Still no problem.

    I got a new ASUS laptop, I also linked using the Windows Wizard.  STILL no problem.

    Now, here's the problem comes.  I moved the Dell desktop computer, connected the DLink wireless receiver to it and I am able to get wireless access ONLY when I go into the properties of PC, click the wireless networks tab and check the "use Windows to configure my wireless network" box.  Then I can connect correctly, but I don't see this computer on my wireless network.  Bad luck... because I want to be able to access share files.  When I try to connect using different assistants of Windows, I get a message to the effect that, if I used another software to connect to the program, I can't use the Windows Wizard.

    So, what can I do to remove the original configuration of DLink completely and to connect to my wireless network using the wizards in Windows?  I uninstalled the software of DLink, but it seems to have no effect at all.

    BTW, Dell desktop computer is running XP, office computer of my daughter is running VISTA, and two laptops are equipped with Windows 7.  I can see all the computers on the network with the exception of the original Dell desktop computer wireless.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Environment:

    I have a workgroup Windows 8 pro PC with all updates from Windows update. The PC is connected via WiFi (home) to a router (the same thing happens if I am connected to the router directly via RJ45). It's my "private network (NAT). I have the Windows Firewall is enabled in its default configuration. I use "Windows Defender" as my protection\firewall of virus software.  "When I go to: change options for sharing different network profiles" under advanced sharing options. I try to turn on file sharing and network discovery in the private profile. It shows that "the private sector is the current profile. The radio button lights. However, when I go to the file Explorer / network I got the message ' network discovery and file sharing are turned off. " The network computers and devices are not visible. Click here to change... " I click to change, however when I click to change it keeps returning and gives me the same message. I then go in ""network control and Internet\Network and sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings " and the option buttons in private profile for the network discovery and file sharing are turned off."

  • Network discovery, file sharing settings keep changing by itself and Alltel to set the network location continues to ask the wireless device

    former title: network location settings. Discovery of NW. File sharing. public folder sharing. AVG 9.0 'tools' and network connections.

    My Alltel Wireless device again set the network location. And continues to change my network settings for the discovery of NW to:, as well as file sharing for: file public and sharing: read-only.  I have AVG Security 9.0 and under 'tools' and connections network shows several svchost with States reading service connections listening and unknown. I don't want no access to my computer and cannot find any computer consultants who can get this to stop. What can I do?

    Hello
     
    1. the options apply automatically on?
    2. have you made changes on the computer recently?
    3. have you installed any Alltel Wireless application to manage network connections?
    4. What is the current network location type on? Is it home, work or public?
    Network discovery and file sharing settings depend on the network location. For examle, if you set the network as a public location it turn on file sharing.  So I would ask you to turn all the parameters and then choose the type of network and check if the parameters change again.

    Method 1.
    I recommend you to check if the problem exists in clean boot. May be a third party application is causing these changes.
    See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
     
    Method 2.
    Also check the settings under tools in AVG security suite. You may need to check with the help of AVG on it.
    Or you can disable the antivirus software and check if that causes this behavior.
    Temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if the problem persists.
    Disable the anti-virus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must 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.

    I hope this helps.

  • Network discovery will remain not or active.

    Hi W7 Home premium works very well for a year, since I boutght the PC. It acts as a server of the domestic network of small data size and various PC and devices connect to wireless

    No more - network discovery is now off and I can't next turn to the. This seems to be a well documented problem with a lot of different slkutions, what work. The most common advice given is to verify that the following services are started and set to automatic - they are!

    Computer browser

    DHCP client

    DNS client

    Function Discovery Resource Publication

    Network connections

    Network location awareness

    Remote procedure call (RPC)

    Server

    TCP/IP Netbios support

    Workstation

    If I disable Windows Firewall - network discovery automatically returns to be on without any intervention. Turn on the firewall W and discovery network turns off automatically.

    I use Microsoft Security Essentials, which does not solve the problem when it is turned off.

    WIndows is up to date (according to the update of Windows).

    I've already lost hours on it - as someone has any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hi Vinod

    Update on this - it is now resolved and discovered the network working again. I think I must have had some malware which services were adapted so I ran the following
    as stated in one tech groups. The Firewall behaves now as you suggest.
    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

    c. search for all mouse software packages, right click and uninstall.

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    Step 2:

    If the step above does not work, you can try to perform a clean boot and check.
