Windows Firewall turns off automatically.

Windows Firewall turns off automatically at startup, sometimes. I use Trend Micro Internet Security and Windows Security Center. They both have a firewall. (1) I always here you can only have one firewall at the time, is why that Windows Firewall turns off sometimes? (2) if so, why only sometimes? (I don't have Windows OneCare.) (3) should I manually turn off the Windows Firewall and just use the Trend Micro firewall? (4) that I will protect? Please answer 4 questions.

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear enough in my question. I'm not asking for possibly a recommendation on what AV I have to use. I know not if I have to choose only one I'll choose Trend Micro. I wanted to ask what is the right way to turn off the Windows Firewall and make sure it stays off. When I open the Windows Security Center it shows firewall as YOU, but she does not have an option to OFF.

Start button > in the search box, type windows firewall > look up, click onWindows Firewall > in the left column, click turn on or off Windows Firewall > the rest is self-explanatory.

  • Firewall turns off after Windows XP starts

    Hello

    I had the virus that has not seen the MS and MS Safty Scanner MS Security Essentials (MSE) malicious software removal (the value always protect).  It prevented the MSE to run.

    I downloaded Malwarebytes (no Scan option, no firewall or real-time).  He found the virus, the list is below shows what virus found where.  I uninstalled and installed a new MSE, he says that the machine is clean.

    Task bar indicators show my firewall consistantly goes off about 45 seconds after the start to the top, then turn about 30 seconds after the beginning upward.  (I note firewall controls are frozen before it turns off, it can be turned off from the start, just about 45 seconds for the PC to detect).

    The firewall configuration is does not (unknown error) while the firewall is disabled and setting off the power before.

    I'm running a fully updated MS Windows XP 32-bit, bridge 2005,.

    Now, I already tried a lot of things, including about six analyses of various companies.  I suspect there is still a compenent that nobody yet knows how to look.  Is there anyway to get MS to analyze my system to see what is out there, so that they can identify the virus, I think I have MSE reports, but there is no button to tell MS my computer is infected, so I think that there is no report.

    I'll probably have to find another XP operating system going offline, but my piece of bridge came not with all drives, so if there are unique drivers they may not work with windows 7 or later.

  • Firewall Windows 7 turns off intermittently, sometimes after WSUS updates

    Firewall Windows 7 turns off intermittently, sometimes after WSUS updates and other times when no updates have been pushed back.  He did 3 days now online this week.  Last week, a day, two weeks before anything.  It's a Dell latitude E6400, with the latest version of the Bios, chipset and device drivers.  Running Office 2010, Visio Pro 2010 and AutoCad 2012, as the main applications.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for the reply.

    You have installed on the computer registry cleaners?

    I suggest you to scan SFC (System File Checker) and check if it helps.

    SFC scan will search the system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.

    Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7 system files

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE - screen turns off automatically

    Hi friends,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with windows visa Home Basic edition.
    Now for 15-20 days I am facing a strange problem. The screen of the laptop emits a sometimes (not necessarily every time) and then when the frequency increases the display turns off automatically!
    Then I must Hibernate or he put laptop to sleep to find again the screen... Seriously, I don't understand the problem.

    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Julie,.

    It sounds as if something is harming your graphics driver causing the display to turn off. If the problem occurs only when you use certain applications or only started after installing a new application you may need to restore your system to a restore point before new applications have been installed. As a test, you can try to start your system in safe mode and see if the problem persists.

    I also recommend that you re-install your graphics drivers to see if it improves the problem.

    Other possibilities are that your graphics chip is a failure or overheating causing this problem in which case you have to return your laptop to a Service approved for the additional diagnostic agent.

    My last thought is that you may have a problem with the inverter FL (the component that provides the lighting of your LCD screen). Check, when the screen turns off, if you can still see a residual image on the screen. If yes then the FL inverter is definitely at fault.

    Kind regards

  • Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

    Hi, I'm opperating on Windows Vista Basic Home Edition on top of a HP540 Tower, which has 160 GB hard drive.

    Except for the 20 GB Partition, I stayed with 129 GB to install a fresh on o/s.

    After installing my o/s and updates the 7Gig to clean Documents saved from after installation.

    I was left with 99 Go!

    Something wrong without a doubt!

    Even more, I'm losing memory on my hard drive like there is no tomorrow, 30 GB in 4 days!

    It seems every time I'm streaming videos, or even just to watch videos, an external hard drive.

    I lose about 1 or 2 GB!

    Using a number of antivirus programs, I scanned for a virus, but all programs concluded that the

    the system is clean and that there is no virus!

    This led me to believe that the system backup and restore several coppies of his car, then

    I have used the disk clean up to remove all but the most recent backup file.

    All of a sudden my disk space is increased from 69BG to 99 GB.

    I still don't know what happened to the other Go 20 or 21.

    Although this seems to be a difficulty, with in a few minutes that the backup has been busy writing far still and in

    15 minutes that I had fallen to 97.3 GB and deminuishing.

    Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

    Thank you very much!

    Nothing wrong as far as I can see.  A Windows installation will take about 20 GB to 30 GB so it's fine, and you will lose even more space for virtual memory to system management file, hibernation, system restore points file and so on.  Although the "30 GB in four days" is perhaps a little on the high side, considering that you have just installed Windows, there are a lot of household, creating files and so forth go on these days.

    With the help of disk cleanup to delete these files from system restore is a bad choice, because they are created to ensure the security of your system and allow you to recover from any problems that may require them.

    If disk space is as big a problem to get a bigger hard drive and let the system restore to do its job.

    Hello

    my Windows Vista laptop turns off automatically. This isn't a standby automatic regular, Hibernate or shutdown. The computer will just empty. When you try to turn it back on, the message that "the computer was not properly extinguished" sometimes appears.

    This auto disable happens irregularly. Sometimes it seems to happen more often when the computer made the task more or heavier. But the computer seems to be overheating.

    Someone has an idea what could be the problem and I can try to do about it?

    Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
