Windows Security Center still shows my old Trend Micro antivirus program. I get security alerts saying that my antivirus program is out of date.

My current antivirus program is Spysweeper, but when I click on the windows security shield it still shows my old AntiVir of Trend Micro.  I get windows security alerts saying that my antivirus program is out of date, although I update every day and analyze daily with Spysweeper and it works fine.

    OneCare, Threatfire are some. What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have
    on the machine now. And who did you NEVER got over it, even if you have uninstalled them. (These
    Let the remains that cause strange problems). Therefore a number in your case.

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

    ------------------------------

    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 leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    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)

    Avast - home - free - 7.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

    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
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    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.

    When I started the computer 25/02/15 the Windows security alert appeared.

    I have not allowed access to Windows Security Alert window.

    Why this security alert Windows has been published?

    The Windows security alert is the only issue.
    Firefox works normally. He never does not.
    I have internet access on my private network.

    I use Classic theme restaurateur.
    What's interesting after clicking on menu + customize, I moved the icon Hello in the box additional tools and features.

    I just clicked Cancel on the dialog box and the Windows security alert went away.

  • Windows Media Center is not in the list of all programs - Vista Home Premium

    Hi, I can't find Windows Media Center on my computer - I have Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I try to use my TV on my computer. It has a built-in TV Tuner. But I can't find Media Center.

    I know when I got the computer last year - it came with something to activate the TV - but I have no internet at this point - so nothing could be done. Since then, I've upgraded to Service Pack 2. All the documentation said that Media Center should be there. I've looked everywhere and Media Center does not appear to be more!

    Can you please help - if I don't now how can I access the Media Center.

    Thanks in advance.

    Julie

    Thanks for this, before I saw this, I worked on how to solve this problem.

    First, I downloaded the cumulative update for Windows Media Center-still nothing.

    Then I peeked my Control Panel/Default Programs/Set Program Access and Computer Defaults.

    My settings were now on the custom, and default media player - tick on "Enable access to this program" next to Windows Media Center had been removed! (of course by another media program)-I reticked this box and as if by magic, the program appeared in all programs and was now visible to the rest of the computer. "

    This setting should make it invisible to the rest of the computer - he of course does not use if it is checked.

    (I also found once I ticked the box next to Windows Media Player (who had also disappeared, even if it was marked as a media player by default) - he also appeared in the all programs list- and he had never been there before!) I know because I had to go and insert my link on the desktop to access it.

    All sorted - what a huge relief. Just as it takes.

    Original title: Vista Activation issue

    After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

    Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research

    and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove

    such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,

    I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!

    It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."

    I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?

    Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.

    I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft

    It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!
