Windows Security adds an indicator (a shield) to the icon for the program when it blocks the application?

Recently, I was infected with the virus, Win7 Antivirus 2012. I finally deleted the partitions on the readers of my trunk and data, reformatted and reinstalled Win7 Professional on the boot drive. Since that time, I was driven mad because I keep seeing small shield flags see the place on the icons of programs. At first, I thought it was the virus, but I noticed that each of these files is the 'block' security property. Do Win7 itself change the icon of the program?

Hello

1. are you referring to the shortcut to the program on the desktop icons?

2. the problem is specific to the particular program icons?

3. what happens when you try to open a program by using the shortcut on the desktop?

You can move the mouse over the program icons and see if it gives an error message.

Note: Items with the shield need an administrative privileges to run.  Most of these things will give a UAC pop-up or must be performed by right click and choose 'run as administrator '.

The icon indicates that the shortcut will prompt you with a UAC dialog box at the beginning.

The shield of the UAC (user account control) on programs indicates that you need elevation to run the program, which means that you must run the program as administrator.

This is not normal, but does not hurt as well. I suggest that you turn off the UAC and check if you have the same problem. You can check the link for more information below:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-user-account-control-on-or-off

User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

  • Windows XP... reallocating delay in opening the applications

    A user I help has a Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 3 installed.  We see considerable delays in the opening of the applications.  The other day, I timed it actually with my stopwatch and it took nearly 8 minutes to open Outlook 2007 and IE 8.  It was just after a clean reboot with no other applications running and nothing turn on w / the computer except for the critical elements of the operating system.

    Here are a few specs on the computer in question:
    Dell Optiplex
    Intel P4 3.2GHz
    2 GB of RAM
    256 MB of video memory

    I have several other computers with the same characteristics and they work without any problem.  The only problem I see with this crazy computer is hardware based.  I ran antivirus, spyware/malware control - found nothing.  Defraged the drive (which has 90% of free space), ran Process Explorer from Sysinternals (MS) and find nothing cluttering up the CPU or to be a memory hog.  Ran in Safe Mode and did a good cleaning of junk temp.

    What could cause a computer to do this - just come to a sudden stop and take 8-10 minutes to simply open Outlook 2007 or even IE (even Firefox besides).  I can only think of a defective hardware (that one who knows).  Any thoughts?

    Thank you in advance.

    These files must be burned as an ISO file using a program like Imgburn

  • A procedure for security (false?), I did changed my desktop icons for the default system icon

    I have 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate on a HP laptop.

    I read a review (whose source I can't remember, but I think this is Microsoft) that there is a security hole in the desktop icons that would attack at a distance.  (Yes, I know.)  So he gave a procedure to remove the danger with editing the registry, with the warning that it would make the normal icons disappear and be replaced by the default system icon.

    I performed the procedure and the icons have disappeared.  And I did not back up the registry first.  (Yes, I know.)

    Now, I know I don't want to live with all the icons, the same.  I have read many procedures on Windows 7, etc., but none that hits home.  And try the remedies to these problems is no help either.  Can anyone help?  Thank you very much.

    After three weeks of research, I posted the above message, then found the solution almost immediately after:

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/233243-default-file-type-associations-restore.html

    I have selected the "LNK" link and run the registry script it contains, and returned all the icons.  It is only the shortcuts that have been replaced.

    (This time I saved the first restore point!)  Problem solved, in an orderly manner.  TX to all who examined him.

    Hi belizariocruz cruz,.

    ·         You receive an error with the message code?

    ·         What is the operating system installed on the computer?

    This problem may occur if the Security Center service is not configured to run under the Local Service account, but the dependent services are configured to run under the Local Service account.

    Note: The following can be used for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

    Method 1: To resolve this problem, make sure that the Security Center Service and all its dependencies are configured to run under the Local Service account. Set the center of security and its dependencies services to run under the Local Service account.

    a. Click Start, type services.msc and press to enter.

    b. double-click Security Center, click on tab log .

    c. Select "this account" click on the Browse button, type Local Service and click ok.

    d. type the password and confirm the password and click ok.

    Method 2: You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner for any infection by virus. Check out the following link to do the same thing.
