• Impossible to activate permanent "network discovery and file sharing" in advanced sharing without turning windows firewall at the wide service.

  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."

  If I turn off the Windows Firewall. Everything works. I need to open a hole in the windows firewall for 2 applications was discovered and network file sharing. I opened rather not just blindly ports. However, if this is the only solution, what ports do I need open.

Can certain software engineering in Microsoft Please arrive at the correct answer.

  This problem has been resolved.

  The MSE has not recognized that the windows firewall was conducted.

  This problem has been resolved by running McAfee software removal followed by uninstallation tool and relocation of MSE.

  After reinstallation, I rebooted and the updated definitions.  He reported no problems with the Windows Firewall or the absence of firewall or at risk.

  I ran a full scan of MSE and we found no malware.

  For others who may have the MSE/firewall problem run followed by appropriate software removal tool to uninstall and reinstallation of MSE.  It takes time, but it worked.

• Windows Firewall is disabled

  I had ZoneAlarm firewall installed on my computer for a while, the Windows Firewall is disabled. When I started my computer today, there was a red security alert icon in the lower right screen telling me Windows Firewall is disabled. As far as I know it is been extinguished since the ZoneAlarm has been installed. I rebooted the computer and the alert was still there. Windows Security Center indicates that the Windows Firewall, it does not show the ZoneAlarm. The ZoneAlarm is on and functioning normally, I confirmed in the Task Manager. I ran my anti-virus and spybot programs and nothing turned up. Why am I suddenly on the firewall alerts Windows is disabled? Should I be concerned?

  Hello

  Here's what I use and recommend:

  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.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  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.

  I hope this helps.

• the touchpad on my toshiba laptop with windows vista is disable and I don't know who to make it work again

  the touchpad on my toshiba laptop with windows vista is disable, and I don't know who to make it work again.

  Hello

  Toshiba has also map of keys which allow easy adjustment of the TouchPad. See support for Toshiba
  and Forums. The key shortcut for the TouchPad, if they are responsible in the Fn + F9 or see the key card
  So usually loaded at the top of the screen.

  There is also usually a TouchPad control utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock
  at the bottom right.

  Toshiba support - click Communcate for links to the Forums and Contact Toshiba.
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  Toshiba downloads - access your model.
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=download

  Toshiba forums - good source of info from others who have the same system or similar
  http://laptopforums.Toshiba.com/

  Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there probably
  are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

  Also check the control - Mouse - touchpad settings panel.

  You can also try this:

  Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
  The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
  (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

  Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
  RESET

  This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
  of work.

  Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
  device if present.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

  Then go to the website of the manufacturer of system (Toshiba downloads - access your model - listed above)
  and get the latest touchpad drivers.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

  I hope this helps.

  Have a read of the link above re Vista file and printer sharing.

  Permissions/Share info is there as well.

  If you use Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro or Kaspersky I.S., make that file and printer sharing is enabled in THE Firewall (or LAN enabled, depending on how their Exceptions are formulated in their firewall)

  Read the information above.

  See you soon.
