WIndows WINDOWS XP Security Center

Why in the Security Center (Windows XP) when I try and turn on the firewall is says "you are not allowed to change these settings, consult your administrator"? This isn't a working machine, it is a machine at home and is not connected to any server or anything. The reason why I checked what I found that I have a very unusually high level data upload amounts charged by my ISP, so I'm wiondering if in fact my security system is compromised (?)

You may have some malware or other security problems in your PC, I suggest you start by running complete analysis with:

If anything it's been detect and remove them, and then restart your PC and if the problem has not resolved, then run these tools:

  • "Windows Vista Security Center" close browser windows, precise I have a virus, and now no programs will be opened. Windows does not start in safe mode, and all the system restore points have already disappeared.

    Hello

    I have a Dell laptop under Windows Vista Premium. I got it for about three years, and he is upset enough ok tonight. In the middle of browsing the internet, check my email, etc., all but one of my browser windows close at random, and a message appears "windows vista Security Center" whenever I try to open a new window, blocking of the site and to say that the site is dangerous and my system has been infiltrated by a Trojan horse. Then he starts the scan and says that I must buy the full to get everything to work again. I closed everything, since I already have McAfee antivirus and internet security, but it does not, and neither did any other progams. I tried restarting in safe mode to restore a backup point, but Windows does not open in safe mode, rather stick for half an hour in the middle of loading. When I managed to start windows in normal mode, I found that all my past restore points had been erased.

    This happened to someone else, and it is fixable without wiping everything?

    Thanks in advance,
    Emma

    Hi Emma,

    This could be due to a virus on your computer.  Try to make a virus on your computer scan to check if your computer is infected.

  • I just installed Windows Defender, but he does not see my Windows XP Security Center. I had to install Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows to see any antivirus. Why?

    I removed Bitdefender because it slowed my computer down a lot. I then installed Windows Defender and updated and scanned the computer (no problem) and said it was "protect my computer". But the Windows Security Center does not see any antivirus, until I installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Why? And are two antivirus programs now runmning together?

    Microsoft Security Essentials need to uninstall Windows Defender when it is installed. If youshould not uninstall via Add/Remove programs. See the following topics:

    Windows XP Security 2011 Center has taken over my computer so I can't access all the programs and the desktop is black. How can I get rid of this? I can open in safe mode, but have had no chance of this and the solutions of regedit, I saw posted on the internet do not match the entries that I have.

    Anyone else has a problem with the last set of updates Vista?

    geoffreystone2

    Updates that took place after the restore point have been removed, if these programs need to be updated again (it is the restoration of the operating system - in fact, that's why it works).  It works simply on the updates of Windows, but on the updates or installations of any kind (except changes to the data).  This is not a problem and should completely (and was mentioned in my post above).  Reinstall the updates and you'll be fine here.

    System Restore may take a long time.  L ' turn off in the Middle can cause problems - problems, different problems and even serious problems.  If updates are still there (and you encounter other problems which essentially the same that you started with most of the time), then the system restore did not work or was not correctly filled (but it make some changes if some of your edits are no longer working at least partially and perhaps even completely) (, but just was not given enough time).  I suggest you try again and this time give him more time to finish - say a few hours at least, or maybe more, given the current circumstances.  To do this before you perform any relocation above because they will be lost again.

    I don't understand the issue of e-mail messages.  What do you mean by 'coded '?  What email program are you using?  I suspect that this may be the result of turning off the system before restoring it finished (or the problem with the system restore if it worked actually).  A successful restoration will solve I hope that whatever it is as well - but if we cannot get this to work, we need to abandon this effort at least for the moment.

    If this does not work, then I suggest you follow the advice of Malke (assuming that you have not already) and explain your efforts with the restoration of the system and the results that occurred as well so that they fully understand the situation.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • window xp security center antivirus protection is off how can I me protection.

    MY COMPUTER IS NOT PROTECTED WHY.  SECURITY CENTER ME SAID OF ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION IS DISABLED

    Many of these programs require annual fees to continue working, so if you have a message to this effect and is not paid, it would be a possible way, that this could happen. Of course, another possibility is that your computer could be infected with a virus. Whatever the cause, it is imperative that you have a working of antivirus running software version. There are several free there, against MS, called Microsoft Security Essentials. Two more are AVG and Avast. Don't forget that before installing any new anti-virus program you need to uninstall any other person because more than one on a PC will cause problems.

    When (date about) don't you install Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) and has been the computer fully-patched to Windows Update in time?

    What antivirus application was installed before installing MSE, was your subscription always news, and did you uninstall it before installing MSE?

    Give an application of Norton or McAfee has already been installed on the computer?

    A Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

    AVG free has been removed, but then a system restore is performed to a point where AVG was still active. Now windows still believes that AVG is there even if it is not.  AVG Remover tool was performed to remove all traces of AVG.
