• 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 .

• Windows XP mode crashes after his execution. Can Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 be the cause?

  It is a new HP laptop, preloaded with Windows 7 Professional, including Windows Virtual PC and WIndows XP Mode.  2013 - Kaspersky Internet Security is responsible.  With the launch of XP Mode Windows Virtual PC, I get my password, integration are enabled and the Windows XP desktop appears.  There is a notification that the virtual machine is protected by 2013 of Kaspersky Internet Security.  A ToolTip appears and indicates that Kaspersky needs to be refreshed.  (Note: Kaspersky has been updated under the Windows 7 platform).  When you attempt to update, the virtual machine freezes up.  By clicking on the Start button returns nothing.  The only thing I can do is output using the X in the upper right.  A window opens on the Windows 7 Desktop poster "The Virtual Machine into hibernation".  This window remains on my desk, and apparently the VM is not hibernate.  I have to perform a reboot of windows 7 and, in the process, forcing the Virtual PC to stop before the reboot process can begin.  Note that if I set up the Office XP under XP Mode, then immediately stop the XP Mode (I don't try to do SOMETHING else), hibernation is successful.  MS Help Desk wants to charge $99 for this problem.  It is a new machine, for Petes sake!

• 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

  Francisco,

  You could simply stop the Microsoft Essentials if it's getting in the way.

  Prevent the Microsoft Antimalware Service starts automatically

  If you cannot find the software under the name mentioned in the article, locate the service called Windows Defender.

  The same rule applies: set the service to manual start or disable the service.

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

  Opinions differ on the question of whether Microsoft Essentials / Defender should indeed be removed or If disabling services is sufficient.

  Pouvez Avast! Pro co-exist with MS Security Essentials?

  My 8.1 or OS systems, Windows Defender has been disabled (together) - no problems with Avast first.

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

  For your peace of mind, you may contact Avast and ask their opinion with reserve.

  Avast, support

• 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.

• AVG Internet Security maintains the 'blocking' Windows updates

  I am running Windows XP Home SP3 on my machine. I recently pushed a rootkit/trojan infection. My AVG Internet Security v9 is running and updated very well... something which it did in a month because of the infection. My Windows Firewall and automatic updates are enabled. (Which is also disabled during infections). I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded/installed the critical updates 43 (the infection had turned off automatically updated). However all the time I download and install the updated my AVG kept popping up with a deadlock message:

  'au.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/crup/2012/07_467626d3805abcce3d926b85d8928a20d5edc05b.exe '.

  (I continued to close the notification window and download or install updates. Each of them went through).

  My Windows security shield has an exclaimation point on this subject.

  Is it is a sort of conflict between AVG and update of Windows?

  Please HELP... it makes me craaaaazy since it appears every 20 seconds or so!

  Thank you very much

  LuniLadi

  Anoop P K,.

  Thanks for the suggestion on disabling the antivirus! I didn't turn off the whole program (which would be 'reisdent shield' on AVG). I have disabled the internet part (shield online) since it pops up constantly during the update downloads.

  Sure enough... that did the trick. Updates downloaded and installed.

  This part of the virus program is turned back on.

  So far so good. Automatic updates seems to be to download and install without any interference of AVG Internet Security.

  Thank you for taking the time to help.
