• Why Windows tells me that my anti-virus is disabled and my Antivirus says it is? Who can I trust?

  Just like the title says, Windows tells me that Windows Defender and Avira (my antivirus) is off. But when I check on Avira it says "Protected" which means that it is on.

  Now I'm confused, can someone tell me what is the problem here? Thanks in advance.

  You can not run 2 antivirus at the same time programs which is what you do. When you stall Avira it disabled Windows Defender and some third-party Antivirus do not play nice in Windows 8.0/8.1.  My advice would be to uninstall Avira via the Control Panel, then go to the site Avira and download and run their removal tool. Then, restart your computer. Windows Defender and Windows Firewall must now be on, l but check in the center of the Action. Windows Defender is more than able to defend your computer. You can also download and run Malwarebytes free version and you can run only occasionally but do not activate the free trial of pro.  Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  I've been using Live Mail in windows 7, I recently tried to install updates and a message that came if I installed the updates I would lose Live mail? then, they want us to buy outlook? or is there an equivalent version of the direct male for free download?

  If you are talking about windows live mail (part of essentials) you shouldn't lose it when updating.  If we know what updates, we would be safer.

  You may need to upgrade to the newest version of WLM.

• Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled.  I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated.  I read related security problems, but I have not found a match.  I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach.  It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update.  «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»

  When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.

  Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."

  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.

• Windows Security Center tells me that my Anti-Spyware XP is not saved

  My Security Center Windows tells me my Anti-Spyware XP is not registered and won't let me in the Firefox homepage because of spyware. Anyone having the same problem or is it a virus?

  * original title - registration XP Anti-Spyware? *

  XP doesn't have a program, anti-Spyware, to the best of my knowledge, unless it is MSE and who does not need to be saved. Can you get on the internet using IE?

  Looks like you may have a virus. Please download Malware-bytes here , once you download and install, make sure it is updated and run a full scan of the system. Depending on the anti-virus program, make sure it is updated and run it. Then download Microsoft security Essentials, implemented to update and run.

  You have installed anti-spyware program?

  Ok thank you. It makes a difference. Malwarebytes is an excellent scanner and real-time protection. However, none of the software you mention is an antivirus. I recommend Avast free.

  After carefully installing Windows 7, Windows update tells me that I must install a critical update for the graphics card to Nvidia 9600 m GS on my Touchsmart, but every time I start the process, the download fails with the error code 80070005. I tried several times a day for a week now. Media Center won't play any TV, saying that the correct graphics drivers are not installed. I tried to install the drivers from the Nvidia site, but nothing helped.
