  • Backup Windows XP does not seem to be clear the attribute archive when you perform a normal backup.

    Backup Windows XP does not seem to be clear the attribute archive when you perform a normal backup.

    I do a backup of the 'Normal' at the beginning of the month.  Then, at the end of the first week, I do a "Differential" backup (using the same "backup job" but change to type "Incremental".)

    Well the difference is huge and to study, I see that a lot of files that I don't know that I didn't take the week since the 'Normal' backup have the Archive attribute set.

    Is the 'Normal' compensation not the bit mode backup of archive?  Another thing would be randomly set the attributes to archive?  Is there a ghost in the machine?  Inquiring minds want to know.

    Hello

    Differential backup marks files as having been backed up (in other words, archive attribute is not cleared). This is normal.

  • surcurity essentials does not start, and the windows firewall does not illuminate

    Hello

    I have a problem, he seems to have had a virus on my pc. Essentials of security does not illuminate and the windows firewall will not also turn on, I tried to use the tool to "fix" windows and it doesn't solve the problem.

    the original virus seemed to rename its self as a program existing and renamed the oringinal by a space in the name, for example "adobearm.exe" became "adobearm .exe" there is a space before the dot.

    The virus called his free adobearm.exe icon because it is a yellow / orange with a letter H, at the Center

    different file name her seemed to be part of the virus included "ag7yl5x8.exe".

    If you tried to close them in the task manager that they just either came back or a different file name would appear in the list.

    I also couldn't do a windows update, but I think as the tool to 'fix' as cured this problem.

    Can someone help me please.

    Thank you

    Hello Bill,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    It seems that you have studied this question, but I have a few questions to help you troubleshoot.

    • When the firewall service has failed to start?
    • You have errors in the log of events dealing with the firewall service? Check the system and safety and the Application event log.
    • The Firewall Service is set to automatic? She is arrested or if it is in a State of waiting? Is the journal on the expected system Local?
    • Please check the remote procedure call Service and the Base Filtering Engine Service is started and set to automatic.
    • You have any 3rd party firewall in place in addition to the Windows Firewall?

    Please let me know the results, so I can continue to help you.

  • Windows Update does not seem to work

    I got my laptop in June and he made lots of updates from windows, but I was not able to do updates from windows. The settings are on so that it checks for updates every day, install everything she itself, but when I press on check updates, it indicates that updates and it stays like that for hours.

    Last updates ever State control, updates have been installed30/06/2010. My computer is DELL studio XPS. Quatro, windows 7 64 x

    It also seems that you can't find automatic updates for newly installed USB things. Could not obtain automatic installation for my printer and could get no automatic update for a mouse, so I had to cancel the update to use.

    Please let me know, my guess is maybe firewall, but do not know how to get around that...

    Thank you!

    No, not worth it.

    Cleaning a compromised system

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation and formatting the hard drive option" (or "reinstall it Windows 7") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7 article

    NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

    VERY IMPORTANT! =>  The free McAfee trial will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the McAfee Consumer products removal tool before installing updates AND BEFORE installing your new antivirus application (for example,Microsoft Security Essentials - free).

  • The center of security and Windows Firewall does not.

    I run MSE and Windows Firewall. The Security Center will pop up and tell me my firewall is disabled and I'm unprotected. When I check the recommendations, sometimes it is still on! Other times it is turned off, turn back on and someday or later does it again. This is what would serve turn off my Windows Firewall or give false information on it power status?

    Hi saltydad,

    From the description, even if you use MSE does participate or part of this problem.  It is a problem between the Security Center and Windows Firewall.

    First, try the following fix, as he helped others with a similar problem: http://social.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/onecarefirewall/thread/c0ca9eb2-14b0-4591-be85-4b7fd1700191/.

  • Windows Firewall does not illuminate

    From: nsmartinez46

     

    I just had this problem recently. When I start my computer, there is a pop up that says that the Windows Firewall is disabled. I click on the button to turn it on and then appears a screen that says "Security Center may depend on Windows Firewall." I then click "Activate Windows Firewall manually." Then he said that he does not use recommended settings to help protect my computer. I click "update settings now" but then he said he was unable to make the requested updates.

    I'm using Windows Vista and I have had my computer for a year now. It happened the other day and I installed as my Symantec anti-virus program.

    How can I activate Windows Firewall again?

    De :  Engel

    You can try this:

    Right click on command prompt (start Menu\Programs\Accessories) and choose Run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste) the following command:

    WinMgmt /verifyrepository

    If the system returns "referential WMI is not consistent", type this command:

    WinMgmt /salvagerepository

    The first time you run this operation fails. (It will be matter of commands to stop services causing his failure, saying: "a shutdown command was sent to a service that depend on other services running on"). It may take a few minutes for the services to stop. Rerun the last command. You may in fact need to run 3 times before finally runs and ends on its own.

  • Windows Firewall does not start I tried many routes to solve this problem, anyone know how to help I did a lot of different types of suggestions that I read on the net, and I'm still having no luck. Please can someone help?

    Anyway I recently installed a Kaspersky Internet Security2010 trail version, I run Windows Vista, my computer is new, I know that there are no viruses, malware or spyware. However, I have this error code 6801, and I can not turn on the windows firewall. This started after I removed the version Kaspersky track. He also tells me that the associated program does not want to start "Yes or no" of course I tried yes then received this error 6801. I goggled the error and tried different ways to fix this error but still no luck. I'm a bit about computers, I checked the services and his here said automatic but not started. Tried again to start manually and this time it is said ' cannot start Firewall Win, if it comes to a product non-windows then contact suppliers and relay the error 6801.» So please if someone knows something I can do to solve this problem I do not have the disk to reboot vista and I'm losing my mind, I was in it for five days and his crazy wife. Another reason, I would like to correct this problem is I can not use my bitcomet torrent Downloader, I think that this problem of firewall is the problem because everything was going well until the Kaspersky was installed and then my router accidentally disconnected. Sorry for the hike, I'm very frustrated. Just for you all also say that I tried to port forward, with and without static ip and now I think I need to do something about this error until I can fix my bitcomet. I hope that someone takes the time to read this and respond, thanks hope someone soon!
