Why my firewall stops all of a sudden, and then issue a warning that my computer is at risk?

Hello

I sat down and opened my screen and adobe wanted to download something again, and then all of a sudden I get a warning from windows saying that my firewall is turned off and my computer is in danger. It took me a few trys to get turned back, and I would like to know how the firewall can be turned off when I had turned it on in the first place and how can I prevent it happening again?

Thank you

Your computer may be infected with a variant of malware which disabled firewall on your computer.  I suggest you sign up for the malware removal Forum and then follow them instructions to scan your computer and by publishing a newspaper.

While you're waiting to be helped, do not attempt fixed automatic as they can only aggravate the problem.

  • My Dell all-in-one 962 stopped printing all of a sudden. The error messages are that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.

    My Dell 962 All In One Printer suddenly stopped to print. I get an error message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. The error message suggests that I unplug and plug back the power plug and the USB cable to the printer and make sure that there are no restrictions of firewall to the printer. I did what was suggested and still no printing. I have resinstaled the printer from the CD software, I got with the computer and also installed the latest driver using the software of the software upgrade wizard.

    and also installed the latest driver by using the Software Update Wizard software.

    That would not have been the best idea... but it is unlikely that the cause of your immediate problem.

    The next thread does not make much sense to me, but it describes a situation similar to what you described and the proposed solution is supposed to have worked.  Try it and see--> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3528/t/19483019

    I suspect that what really happens is that the driver has become corrupted.  In many cases, simply reinstall the driver is not fix things; you have to clean the old corrupt driver before installing the new.  Thus, it is more likely that the part "Uninstall" the related response is what is helping rather than playing with services... but go ahead and follow these directions, just in case.  In fact, I suggest that you run under first antimalware scanners before following the tips in the above link.

    If I had not found the link above, that's what I would have suggested (whichrequires that you have Windows XP):

    Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs.

    MalwareBytes AntiMalware

    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Use the free version, not the free trials of "pro" versions  Pay attention during installation uncheck any prechecked boxes that would install some additional third-party programs.

    Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each scan will take a while.  Start one and go do a non-it chore.  Once the scan is finished, leave the program to deal with anything it finds.

    Once done, you can keep or uninstall programs, or both.  If you keep SAS, I suggest to change its default setting does NOT automatically when Windows starts.

    Uninstall all software from Dell to control panel > Add / Remove programs

    Download Microsoft Fixit 50126 impression: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9662904

    Close all running applications (anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    Run the Fixit routine.  Note: The routine Fixit has two modes, light and complete.  It will run in full mode when you check the box "Reset the spooler to print on values."  This will remove all printers, so if you have any other printer installed, I recommend running the Fixit in full mode.  If you have other printers and you do not (necessarily) want to reinstall them, run the Fixit in light mode (box unchecked).  This may work anyway.  You must restart the computer after you run in full mode; you need not restart after the Chase mode.

    After the Fixit has executed and you have restarted if necessary, make sure that the printer is disconnected from the computer and run the installation software.  You will be asked to connect the printer to a suitable place.  You can use the CD that came with the computer or download the software here (which is relatively hard to find, the claims of the main page of the 962 product support it cannot find the drivers)--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R89490

  • Wireless disconnect all of a sudden and then adapter is not found until the reboot!

    I am currently using Acer Aspire 4740 G with Windows 7 Home Premium. Previously, the problem I encountered was that the wireless card is not found when you turn on the laptop with the battery. The problem could be fixed by restarting until the adapter is found, or just plug in the power cable.

    Recently, the problem has gotten worse. Even when it's current alternative, my wireless connection will suddenly shut off and then the adapter is not detected until the reboot. In network connection, the adapter is shown, but it shows disabled. When I click on him allow, the popup notification enabled but in the network connection is still disabled. When I try to uninstall the card and try to install it back, the adapter is gone until I restart.
    They follow methods I've tried.
    -Under the management of the power of the adapter, I unchecked "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
    -Using a power high performance
    -Updated my wireless adapter for Qualcomm Atheros AR5B93 v10.0.0.234 (do not know what is the most recent, can anyone verify this for me?)
    The only way to solve the problem now is to restart the laptop. However, the problem will occur again in about an hour or 2, but it's embarrassing!

    Not sure if this helps, because my problem seems to be fixed now.

    I have been uninstalled Tuneup Utilities. I remembered before installing Tuneup, the problem occurs only when my laptop was disconnected and running on battery power. After the installation of Tuneup, this occurs even it is plugged. Looks like than Tuneup messed my network or power management.
    Thank you guys for trying to help anyway.

    I stopped to receive mail after December 31.  It indicates that the computer cannot connect to my account but when I log in with my password I get the message "this account already exists." How can I get my email account to work again?

    MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan

    First of all, make sure that you don't have two accounts with the same address. What happens if one of them is an iCloud account.

    From the Mail menu bar, you select

    ▹ Connection Doctor window

    In the window that opens, look for an SMTP (outgoing mail) account with a name that corresponds to the account that you are trying to add. Double-click it. Another window opens, displaying the list of all outgoing mail accounts. Click the sign button less to remove the corresponding one, and then click OK.

    Try to add the email account again. If you still can not, log off or restart the computer, and then open the preferences window accounts Internet and check if the account is displayed.

  • It might make me totally distracted, but in the password protocol, it seems all sites want one and then somehow I've now changed my passwords?

    Hello

    It might make me totally distracted, but in the password protocol, it seems all sites want one and then somehow I've now changed my passwords? IE: Google, Microsoft...

    Some people say that I need only a pswd for all sites?

    Some say all change every month... you, the experts say?

    Thank you

    Hello

    One of the worst things you can do with passwords is to have the same password for everything. For example, someone like a hacker finds your password by e-mail. You can use the e-mail address as username for several things, such as the online stores, financial sites, etc.. Once they know this address combination and e-mail password works on a single site, hackers can try on many popular sites. You are then not only your email hacked, but a lot of things.

    There are more tips here:

    Do not use the feature distribute the form. Instead of this, just put up a button "submit" and configure it to send email using any email address you want. Just add a button and set the action of the mouse upward on "Submit a form" and use a type mailto URL and specify that you want to send the full PDF. Then activate the reader of the document: where "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader" is located in Acrobat XI?

  • Its stopped all of a sudden

    I listened to the music when all of a sudden I heard a noise and the noise stopped. I tried to update the drivers for the computer, but nothing has worked. I also tried a system restore, but that did not work as well. It is said that happening is sound but nothing comes out of the headphones. I don't know if I have a sound card, but is it possible that it is broken? I only had this computer for about 1 month. Thank you

    Hello

    -What is the brand and model of the computer?

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the sound drivers on the computer manufacturer site.

    1. click on Start and then RUN.

    2 type devmgmt.msc in the RUN prompt and press to enter.

    3. This will open the Device Manager window.

    4 browse the audio controller.

    5. right click on the audio drivers see you there, and then click Uninstall.

    6. you may need to uninstall the drivers completely from your computer, check the box and press ok.

    7 restart the computer so that the changes are applied.

    Once the computer restarts, windows tries automatically to download and install the audio drivers.

    I suggest to find the latest audio drivers in the computer manufacturer's website and install it instead of the generic Windows drivers that are provided through Windows updates.

    Also, follow the steps proposed by John Rubdy in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/the-sound-has-stopped-working-all-of-a-sudden/22b9f3df-61d4-4d3b-a7bd-e51dd65d5d77
