Windows Security Center in Windows XP 2002 SP 3 under Virus turning the recommendations button on again.

I disabled the "I have antivirus software that I will control myself" on the recommendations button by mistake and wish to reactivate it, but don't see the recommendations button now.  Is there a way I can turn back on or do a system restore.  I'm on Verizon that has protection McAffee anti-virus security.

    Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

    When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

    also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

    does anyone know why my Security Center can't turn on showe just me a message (windows Security Center cannot be started) what can I do for this?

    If someone help me I thank a lot.

    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.

  • Security Center Windows is no protection against the virus, even if my anti virus program is updated and active

    Original title: Security Windows symbol said no protection, but my anti virus software says that there is no threat to my computer. My anti virus system is up to date (Kaspersky). Why the red with an x on it to declare shield than the anti virus protection is disabled

    My antivirus program is up to date and said that everything is fine, however the red shield with the x is always on and says no virus protection is on

    It's never happened before. What's wrong?

    Hi Pitbulls,

    Many users of Kaspersky have this same caveat, but this is a simple hoax. There is a fix to get rid of the pesky warning permanently:

    Try these steps and see if they help:

    Step 1:

    1. temporarily disable the WMI (WMI) service in:

    a. start > run

    b. type: "services.msc".

    c. and there find/stop WMI

    Step 2:

    Then delete the folder C:\windows\system32\wbem\repository

    Step 3:

    Restart the WMI service using the same procedure that you used to stop and restart the computer

    It's probably the Windows Security Center that falsely says he is off, you're not the first and it happens to all Anti Virus software brands.

  • What is the Windows Security Center and is compatible with Avast antivirus Protection?

    I installed a paid for version of Avast on my Windows XP computer. (I won't be upgrading to a more modern version of Windows.)

    I also called Windows Security Center.

    Is the Windows Security Center virus protection, or is it simply a place to control and discover whatever you have antivirus protection?

    If it is a virus protection, it would hurt Avast and if so can I uninstall it?

    If I removed Avast and didn't have Windows Security Center, I should any type of protection against viruses on my computer?

    The only type of protection against viruses in addition to Avast, I am sure that I have on my computer is Windows Firewall. I turned that off and am now strictly protected by the firewall of Avast. Windows Security Center notifies me of cannot have two firewalls upwards at the same time.

    If Windows Security Center antivirus protection it would do no harm to leave it on if the firewall is disabled and Avast is installed? Part of Windows Firewall Security Center Windows or another program?

    Guesses are welcome. Thank you.

    Hey there Clinton!

    I've identified two questions here, your normal text questions and my answers in bold:

    Is the Windows Security Center virus protection, or is it simply a place to control and discover whatever you have antivirus protection?

    Windows Security Center is not a virus protection it's just simply a place to control and view the status of the installation of malware * protection software, but also the firewall on your computer.

    Part of Windows Firewall Security Center Windows or another program?

    Windows Firewall is a separate component.

    Does Avast! Damaged, if I have another antivirus running program?

    It is not clear what might happen, but software may conflict with each other and may not work as expected.

    I hope that I have answered all your questions!
    Sincerely,
    -Alex

  • Windows Firewall and Security Center will not start, error 1068 and 1079

    I can't start my firewall Windows, error: 1079... or Security Center, error: 1068. Can help you with this question? When I try to access the Dependencies tab I get this error: Win 32: the specefied for this service is different from the specefied to account for other services running in the same process.

    I checked to see if dependencies were the same account before I got the message of 'Win 32' and WMI Service runs in the same account (Local Service) as firewall and Security Center, but the RPC Service is running on the Network Service account and cannot be changed via the services console, because the account fields are gray and cannot be viewed or modified. I try to avoid using the tool 'SubInACL' because I don't want to reset the whole registry.

    Help, please!

    The other post:

    I had a problem with obtaining the Windows Firewall and Security Center to start. Service account permissions have been changed at some point, including the depedencies. I get the error 1079 on the Windows Firewall and 1068 on the Security Center. Both are defined on the Local Service, but dependence, the CPP is set to Network Service and cannot be changed because the user fields are gray. I try to avoid using the SubInACL.exe because I don't want to reset the whole registry. Can you help me please?

    No, I'm not on a domain. I connect via a open wireless "hotspot". My main problem is; I don't have a Firewall or Security Center. Nor will begin. I get the error: 1068, to Security Center and an error: 1079 on Windows Firewall. When I try to access the dependencies on either I get this window:

    WIN 32: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.

    A month ago I made the mistake of trying to brand of ACDSee of security, "ACDOne" which includes software "BitDefender". That's when I lost my firewall and Security Center. BIG MISTAKE! I uninstalled and deleted all the files that I found that have been left.
