• Restart after that a windows update problem with VirusScan from McAfee (total Protection)

  I'm under 64-bit Windows VISTA Home Premium SP 1 on a Dell Studio 540 desktop.  8.0 GB RAM.  Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 CPU @ 2 .66GHz.
  Late last night, I started the PC to go online.  Shortly after, I was invited by Windows update to restart.  So I closed off everything and rebooted, except that I kept scheduled analysis of McAfee, which I set up for Fridays.  I have McAfee Total Protection, which includes VirusScan.  That the PC would shut down, there was a message on the screen of McAfee who said, essentially, stop this scan before restarting.  I'm paraphrasing - I didn't write down the exact message.  After reboot, I started again the background anti-virus scanning.  After a few minutes, I received the following message:
  Microsoft Windows
  Order McAfee VirusScan Scan - Are asked to work and was closed. A problem with the application to stop functioning properly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available.
  I have not received a solution of Windows.  I completely uninstalled McAfee Total Protection, following the instructions of McAfee, then reinstalled.  Everything went very well with these processes.  I have yet to receive an indication of the McAfee software that something is wrong.  After the reinstallation, I tried a scan, but got the same error message as above after a few minutes.  It does not occur immediately, analysis continues for about 5 minutes, then abandoned.
  Chatted with Dell today.  They suggested a system restore, I will try then.

  What updates have been installed?

  During certain infections that are designed to defeat security software will cause the bomb on analyses with an error.

  I also suggest you contact the McAfee Support since it is their product which blocks.  http://service.McAfee.com/TechSupportHome.aspx?LC=1033&SG=TS

  To view installed updates:

  1. click on start > Control Panel > Classic view > Windows Update.

  2. along the top, click view update history.

  3. click on installed updates

  4. you can sort by name, status, Type, or Date updates. You can also click on each update and select Show details to access the details of this update.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

• 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!

• What I have to buy extra (Norton or McAfee) anti-virus or is the antivirus in Windows Security Center enough?

  What I have to buy extra (Norton or McAfee) anti-virus or is the antivirus in Windows Security Center strong enough? I have McAfee on my computer, but my subscription has expired. I wonder if it is necessary to update? or if the antivirus and security installed in the Windows Security Center is all I really need. and everything is a little more kill?

  Hi RevStevieB,

  Windows Security Center helps improve your computer's security by checking the status of several security essentials on your computer, including firewall settings, Windows automatic updating, anti-malware software settings.

  If Windows detects a problem with any of these security essentials (for example, if your antivirus program has expired), Center security displays a notification and places a Security Center icon in the notification area.

  I recommend you to download & install the antivirus or security software up-to-date so that it works correctly.

  You can also download & run Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer.

  Hope the helps of information.
  Please post back and we do know.

• After an automatic update by McAfee SecurityCenter, Windows Security Center can't detect that McAfee is installed.

  Today, McAfee SecurityCenter automatically updated itself in version 10.5. Following this update, Windows Security Center detects that McAfee is present on the system, but McAfee reports that it is fully operational.

  I already tried to solve the problem using a technique of prompt involving repository.old - on the advice of McAfee support - but it did not work. The McAfee account is held by a member of the family, it is not possible for me to access for re - download the software. Is there anything else I can do?

  This is problem with McAfee and I suggest request support to help you, but you can also try to update Windows and make sure you havelatest service pack and also check you might be able to upgrade to the version of newser free McAfee.

  tcheuchter,

  According to this thread, you were using MSE on February 21, 2012: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/protect_start/mse-scanning-more-often-than-normal/02789423-dc7d-4ff1-8ee0-e0b2cd5255a1

  Here it is March 2, 2012 and you recommend AVG which is fine... it is that you are your option.

  Just a reminder (also indicated in this thread Jetta48) that you should not use more than one AV program providing analysis in real time, so if you are now using AVG, I hope that you have uninstalled MSE.

  Kind regards...

• McAfee Total Protection.

  Trouble with McAfee which has been upgraded in January 2012.  Real-time scanning stops with the error message.  Firewall and spyware to turn off the coast.  Not had this problem with older versions of McAfee Total Protection (having a laptop computer on the same version without any problems).  My Windows Firewall protection and spyware built in, it never gave problems in versions of the McAfee order.  A McAfee technician check my computer and the Protection McAfee 2 April 2012 and him everything would be OK, but I still have the same problem.

  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
  the cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

  Hello

  Some antivirus/security products may cause this error. McAfee, Norton, Windows Live OneCare.
  ThreatFire are some. What antivirus/antispyware/security products you have on machine now. And
  who have you ever on it, even if you have uninstalled them. (They leave leftovers that cause
  strange questions.) AVG alsom so it's a number in your case.

  Check the default services and dependencies to ensure that they are running.

• McAfee Total Protection is incompatible with Internet Explorer 8 and IE 9.6?

  McAfee Total Protection gets systematically uninstalled and reinstalled, only to disappear from visibility on my desk in a day or two, leaving only an empty box. There is no way to scan or perform any of the functions of the program. IE 9 believed by McAfee Tech as the villain.  Now, I have IE 8 and use Windows Vista Home Premium and have a network public wirelesss (that I can't change the Home Network).

  VISTA Home Premium here too.

  MAKE a NOTE OF THIS than SINGLE-use security program otherwise they are fighting among themselves.

  The links below are for the health of your PC and they are by Auslogic and you can bring CNET, they are a kind of house ware software for PC with lots of free stuff not all good, but check out them.

  These are free...

  http://www.Auslogics.com/en/software/registry-cleaner/download/

  http://www.Auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/download/

  in any case, I would run the registry cleaner once you have turned on the PC and before installing McAfee.

  Uninstall completely all McAfee and other security software you have on the machine. If you think that he is gone, try typing McAfee, Norton or any other security software that you used in the past in the window Start Menu search. If there don't just delete, click 'place to open the file' and delete it from there, once that everything went back ON. When the PC is open to the top of your browser and click HELP on the menu bar there is usually lets you know the Version of IE with the line "what's new in IE 6, 7, 8, 9 etc. Once you are sure, follow these steps.

  With the disc, insert it into the machine and it should walk you through it.

  Download from a web site. Do not run it download to the desktop. Once it is I did a right click and choose Run as administrator, and follow the prompts once it is installed, RESTART here I go as far as doing the reboot and then I shut him down and turn it back on.

  Good luck
