• Windows Defender and Norton Internet Security? What are the differences, and that I would be better off with NIS.___NIS it has automatic connections which is great.___Thank you. Dennis__

  None

  Windows Defender is an antispyware software.  In itself, it does not all the protection your computer needs.

  Norton Internet Security is a suite of programs, including antivirus, antispyware, firewall, antispam and others.

  Windows 7 consumer security software providers shows those and other opportunities.

  I'm not a fan of security suites.  On my computer, I use the free program of Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus and antispyware protection integrated in Windows 7 is Windows Firewall .

• Microsoft Windows XP and Norton Internet Security

  Hello
  I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Portege R200. After the new installation of MS Windows XP Professional with SP2 and all recommended Toshiba drivers and utilities and the installation of Norton Internet Security 2005 AntiSpyware Edition laptop starts repeatedly with delay. The delay is manifested by jump for 1 to 2 minutes between when the icons are loaded on the desktop and programs (their icons) are loaded into the system tray. In this break, the system tray has no answer to all actions and the CPU is fully charged (the fan continues its maximum). In addition, sometimes the computer doesn´t wake up from sleep or hibernation mode.
  I saw this problem with Symantec Corp., and they confirmed my suspicions that some Toshiba drivers or utilities collide with Norton Internet Security system services, but they don t know which of course.

  I want to ask you if you know something about this problem because there are a lot of utilities and drivers Toshiba and it is impossible to just try on which we put problem and it is also impossible to use Norton Internet Security on my laptop.

  I would like to add that all used Toshiba drivers and utilities are up-to-date as well as MS Windows XP and Norton Internet Security. The computer has certainly no viruses as well.

  Thank you.

  Hello Martin

  I had the same problem with the Satellite P20 (1 GB of RAM). I installed the Sophos anti-virus application and after that, I noticed the same situation. The delay is certainly due after installing antivir software. I deleted and everything works fine now.

  It makes sense that the software companies are trying to complain of producers for laptop but my experience is that Toshiba has designed tools and utilities have no influence on the applications of antivir. I recommend you to test different applications with antivir. I tested it with Trend Micro PC - cillin Internet security and AntiVir guard. Two of them works well, and I noticed that the problem has disappeared.

  Good bye

• Install or not to install: "Webroot Antivirus with spy sweeper" and "Norton Internet security".

  original title: install or have not installed?

  I am very confused about the difference between "Webroot Antivirus with spy sweeper" and "Norton Internet security". They are both asking me to click on install. They provide the same service? What one do need me more? Windows 7 is already a certain protection/security installed in? I'm afraid to install anything that is not "Microsoft". I heard that too much protection can get an infected computer. My new computer is not yet a year old, I want to keep it in good shape for as long as possible.

  The real risk of installing more of an anti-virus program is that they do not work well together and can cause system performance slow and computer lock-up and others.  You should only choose an antivirus product and install it.  Microsoft Windows comes with a limited program called "Windows Defender" that protects against spyware/adware, but no virus, but if you prefer a Microsoft solution, you can download and install "Microsoft Security Essentials" that offers more protection.  Personally, I also use and recommend MSE and have never had a problem with it.

  Make sure that you uninstall Webroot and Norton Internet Security before installing MSE.

• Problems with the closure, by opening the Task Manager and Norton Internet Security. Help, please!

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 with Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit). Until Monday, there is no problem whatsoever with my computer at all. I have not installed or uninstalled, whatever it be, changed settings, done anything differently with my computer. Suddenly it now "hangs" on the screen of closing down. I'll try to reboot or stop using the menu start, and it will stay on this screen indefinitely. Now, I have to manually turn off the computer. I spent on the Support page and studied the Performance issues, and all I get is I have Visual settings that interfere with closing... except my Visual settings have not changed in any way. In addition, I can not properly update my computer or do a system restore because the computer will shut down.

  In addition, the Task Manager will appear no more. I'll press ctrl alt del and nothing appears, just the green icon in the corner of the screen. If I try to right click, no response.

  I tried to do a full system scan in Norton Internet Security but she "leaves" scanning. It will scan correctly when I'm in safe mode, but it comes with no virus, trojan or other problem.

  So in essence, I tried everything I can think of to fix my computer nothing works. It was working perfectly before this week. I have no idea where to go. Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

   

   

  Method 1.
  First check to see if there are external devices attached to the computer, if so remove and check.

   

  Method 2.

  Step A.

  Start your computer in safe mode and check if it starts.

  Troubleshooting in safe mode
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshooting-problems-while-in-safe-mode

   

  Step B.

  If it starts on the desktop in safe mode and then set your computer to the clean boot and check if it starts successfully. If it starts successfully can be a third-party application or service is causing the problem. We can use the approach 50 / 50 to narrow down the root cause of the problem.

  
  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 3.
  I recommend to run the restore of the system in safe mode and check if it works very well.
  Reference:
  System Restore: frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions
  Note: If you use system restore when the computer is in safe mode, you can not undo the restore operation. However, you can run System Restore again and choose a different restore point if any.

   

   

  I hope this helps.

   

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• problem Windows xp and avg internet security

  Program AVG Internet Security - AVG PC Tune Up - changed/corrupted my Windows Defragmenter program.  Before downloading the free version of this Tune Up program that I had always used the drive Windows Cleanup and Defragmenter programs. When I now try to defragment my files I get the following message when I try to analyse the "Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c). Please run Chkdsk/f.

  AVG 2 offer help options a) contact Microsoft) b computer restoration to date before you download Tune Up.

  Do not use my computer for anything else on internet purchases, store my pictures, my banking and the strange E-mail but does not want to resume a year.  All of the suggestions. I have disinstalled program AVG PC Tune Up months trying to make my computer run faster.  AVG informed me that my security bought 18 month program there is need the upgrade and that is why its doing all my programs so slow.  I don't have any computer talk or knows anything much about them (code of machine 20 years ago!)

  (a) contacting Microsoft won't help you
  (b) restore your computer won't help you

  The problem is your HARD drive has been marked "sale" and you cannot defragment a dirty volume.

  Your HARD drive may have been marked dirty of a power interruption, using the power button, pulling the plug, abnormal termination, aborted reboot, etc..

  You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open the command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type this command:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

  No amount of order entry, no amount of editing the registry deletes the on a volume's dirty bit (sorry that Microsoft committed 'experts' Support Engineer)

  Only a chkdsk with error correction (chkdsk/r) can clear the dirty bit, and it might not work the first time.

  To run chkdsk/r, click on start, run and enter in the box:

  Chkdsk /r

  Click OK and the answer you want volume checked on next reboot (restart of course).

  This disk check can last a long time (perhaps several to several hours) depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what the disk check finds to do.  You may need to run more than once.

  When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you have chosen to do it yourself, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log and no problems after running chkdsk.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001
  Description:

  Checking file system on C:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.
  A disk check has been programmed.
  Windows will now check the disk.
  39070048 KB total disk space.
  25151976 KB in 78653 files.
  48256 KB in 10264 index.
  0 KB in bad sectors.
  237080 KB in use by the system.
  65536 KB occupied by the log file.
  13632736 KB available on disk.
  Windows has finished checking your disk.

  If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, run chkdsk /r again until you see no error.  You should have no errors.

  Check again the dirty bit.  Rinse and repeat if you wish.

• Compatibility of Norton Internet Security and Vista Home Premium

  I have a new laptop with pre-installed A200 Vista and Norton Internet Security.
  I can't use the send/receive button to send Windows messages.
  I spent the time considerble in the forum MS to fix this problem without success. I am told that Norton is not compatible with Vista - even if Toshiba pakage this sooftware together.
  I deleted Norton and in fact the Windows Mail Send7Receive button start working. BUT then after about an hour it has stopped working again! I have re-installed Norton but the problem is still there! I can send E-mail of Mail when I exit and restart the station.

  Can help for this problem - can it be to the ISP? I use port 587 SSL

  Hello

  I studied a little more on Norton and Vista compatibility issues and the Symantec Norton Internet Security is certainly compatible with Vista!

  Also, I found a document very useful Toshiba on this subject:
  Check this box:

  Windows Mail won't send or receive emails
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7701X30005R01.htm

  It seems that the update of the Software Desktop SMS Installer version will help to address this problem.

• HP Envy M6 Simplepass finger reader will not work after you uninstall Norton internet security.

  I've seen a few problems to do with the drive of finger and Norton internet security, but I couldn't find a solution to the problem. I looked on biometric devices and it says "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) »
  
  I've been on the re HP Recovery section - install drivers and applications and reinstalled the HP Simplepass program, but I do not uninstall before that I did and that's maybe why it did not work.
  
  What to do to make the finger drive working again?
  
  Kind regards
  
  Maddie

  Ok. So I got a new laptop that has a fingerprint sensor. I opened the Recovery Manager and see that there are TWO pieces of software that need to be installed/reinstalled.
  (1) the validity of the pilot sensor of fingerprint in the drivers section.
  (2) the SimplePass software in the software section.
  
  Most of the drivers and software in the Recovery Manager do not need to be uninstalled first - the installation package should do this automatically.
  
  If you have not already done so, install the driver of validity using Recovery Manager and restart your computer.

• It takes to run Windows Defender if I have Norton Internet Security?

  If I have Norton Internet Security installed. Should I have Windows Defender running?

  Original title: what security is ok

  Hi paowie,

  Absolutely not.  See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/norton-internet-security-and-windows-defender/761d5aff-382e-46d9-b9f5-f65178b83d91.

  Please disable Windows Defender in Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services.  Double-click Windows Defender and stop it if it is started.  Then in the drop-down menu, make sure to put it off.  Click OK to save the changes.

  Good luck!

• Norton Internet Security 2010 automatically close Windows Defender? __

  My set up:

  Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium, Vista SP2

  HP Desktop

  Modem DSL Connection

  Norton Internet Security 2010

  I just installed Norton Internet Security 2010. I get a pop up notice of Windows indicating that Windows Defender is disabled. When I had Norton Antivirus/spyware 2008 (that I used until the installation of Norton Internet Security 2010) Windows defender was on, but not in real time.  Then, when I'd go to

  The Task Manager > click on the Services tab > click on the Services button in the lower right

  This will display a list of Services. I scroll down and find the Windows Defender Service

  It shows NOT on and manual start

  Before the instalation of Norton Internet Security 2010, it has shown as Started and startup type automatic

  Is this the right setting with Norton Internet Security installed? I do not use Windows Defender, but I read that the Windows Defender Service is responsible for other things in addition to anti-spyware scanning.

  So should I change the startup type?

  and start the service?

  Or, as I said if I don't use it. leave it alone?

  Q. "Norton Internet Security 2010 automatically closes Windows Defender?"

  A. Yes.  It uses its own antispyware software.  Having two different types will result in conflicts and compatibility issues.

• Norton Internet Security trial version stopped working and asked me to uninstall and reinstall

  Norton Internet Security has stopped working and asked me to uninstall and reinstall.

  I uninstalled, now I can't seem to find a way to reinstall it.

  Either way, it was the evaluation version of the security of the software that came with it since I bought it just 3 days ago. So I have all the disks for the software.

  How can I reinstall it? And the last days of my stay of the trial?

  Hoping for an answer.
