• The Windows Security Center Service was unable to establish even queries with WMI to third-party antivirus monitor, anti-spyware and firewall.

  Original title: do I have to re - install Windows 7?

  Today, I opened the Action Center and noticed that Panda Internet Security reported he was off, when it wasn't.  I checked the administrative events and one of the errors was: Security Windows Service Center could be same queries WMI to monitor third party antivirus, antispyware and firewall.  I've got Panda IS 2012 running, which is a very good program.

  I just spent a good hourzs little addressing a Panda technicina, who, after a lot of faffing autour, told me that I either set up a new profile, or I re - install Windows, I don't want to do, because I could lose the system restore facilities, (I had to ask Microsoft to help me address the issue of the restoration of the system because it did not work).  The problem with the Security Center Windows Service dates back to August 10, 2011.

  Anyone know what I'd do, which involves having to uninstall and reinstall Windows?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  1. which parameter is used to install Panda antivirus?

  2 did you use typical or custom?

  If you use Panda IS 2012 as an anti-virus, then Windows Security Center may have disabled the native Windows Firewall, that does send a real-time alert. You can try shooting the alert and check.

  Bottom line: it's ok. It's normal.

• Impossible to retart Window XP as an administrator with the same "selective startup" newspaper (with some third party being disabled services) with an administrator account.

  My computer is a Sony (Vaio) desktop computer with Microsoft Windows XP Professional edition,
  service pack 3. It is installed with Internet Explorer 8.

  I meet the Internet Explorer 8 problem right after I tried to run Norton
  Antivirus (2012 version) Live updates some time ago. Updates Live has not been successfully

  completed.

  I tried to open Internet Explorer 8 to connect the site msn.com and others
  Web pages. It still gives me the message "Internet Explorer cannot Display the Webpage".

  I did a full system scan. The computer is clean.
  I also tried to remove all the Internet Explorer add-on to and reset all settings
  by default, but I still can't get Internet Explorer to work.

  I think that something that connects it to the operation of Internet Explorer 8 has been 'broken '.
  during the download of updates to Norton Live. Maybe it's because as the "dial-up".
  slow internet download speed I use, caused some kind of file corruption.
  I'm not too sure.

  I followed a suggestion to Microsoft support engineer in Microsoft Support community
  and I tried disabling Norton services in starting the configuration to see if
  Internet Explorer will work back or not. However, after I did

  Start > run > msconfig

  and all unchecked Norton services and retarted the computer. I had
  an error message saying "I need to log in as an administrator in order to retart.
  the computer with selective startup"even I had logged in as administrator.

  I turned off the computer and retried the above process again, but I still
  got the same error. I did several times without a bit of luck.

  My computer is used only by myself. My user account is an administrator of type with
  all permissions. It is the only user account in my computer.

  I don't know if other permission settings that must be set correctly in order
  for me to retart the computer with the "selective startup" option

  I hope that someone in the Community Support of Microsoft can give me some suggestions and
  instruction. Thanks a lot for your help.

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  1. If you are using Vista, Windows Defender is part of the operating system. It can NOT be uninstalled. He lives and dies with the system.

  Norton
  McAfee
  AVG
  Microsoft Security Essentials

  3 here is another way to startup programs...
  Start button > in the search box, type msconfig > press the Enter key > uac prompt > Startup tab > you can find the program it?

  4. If you have, see if you are able to activate Windows Defender long enough before your AV it stops again...

  =================================

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and works very well)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
  Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

  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.
  (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

  Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
  (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
  http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

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

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
  a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
  Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie 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.
