XP will not let me turn on the firewall

I try to turn on the firewall, but it doesn't allow me to do. I have McAfee and AVG installed on my XP.

Uninstall McAfee or AVG.

With more that ONE AV installed may cause system hangs, freeze and strange behavior of the system.

  • When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK.

    This has just begun. When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs go :-( This happens every time now. I know how to recover my old tabs but whenever I close Firefox it always warns me that I'm closing multiple tabs.

    Do not use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' to clear the 'browsing history '.

    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is a more reliable way to restore the session data.

    recently, when I turn on my trusty 2410xi all-in-One, it of a mechanical blocker and will not let me perform all tasks. I tried to disconnect the supply of the data lines, nothing helps. Looks like the print head may be stuck? I remember having the same problem a long time ago but don't remember what could be the solution to the problem.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • Data Execution Prevention will not let me turn off for nothing

    Data Execution Prevention (DEP) blocked one of my games to open. I followed the steps to turn it off, but when I get to the window with the option "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select", it is grayed out and won't let me select it. I am the administrator (my account is the only one on this computer), so I don't know why it doesn't let me do. I have looked everywhere and can not find someone else with the same problem. I have Vista Home Premium, 64-bit, if that helps at all.

    Hello

    First of all, I suggest you to see if a Data Execution Prevention of the game compatible version is available by visiting the website of the software publisher. If the Publisher has not released an updated, compatible version DEP for the program, you can turn off DEP for the program that was closed. You will be able to use the game, but it might be vulnerable to an attack that could spread to your other files and game.

    I would suggest trying the following steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Open the elevated command prompt, follow the steps to open the elevated command prompt.

    a. click the Start button.

    (b) in the Start Menu, click programs principally made, followed by accessories.

    (c) in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option.

    d. in the drop-down menu that appears, click on the "Run as Administrator" option.

    e. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked for permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

    Step 2: Try the following steps to activate the Data Execution Prevention, using commands.

    a. in the elevated command prompt, type bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx OptIn and press enter.
    NOTE: If for some reason that this command does not DEP after restarting the computer, then use the command bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx AlwaysOn rather.

    b. you should get a success return message.

    c. close the elevated command prompt.

    d. restart the computer to apply.

    Note: Once you are done with step 1 and step 2, try to add the data execution prevention program and check if it helps to open the game or not.

    Hope the information is useful.

  • McAfee Firewall will stay not on; Cannot turn on the firewall of Windows 7; Computer keeps restarting; and I can't access a file because my computer says I don't have permission

    I use McAfee Firewall as my firewall.  Now when I try to turn it on, it continues for less than a second, then turns off.  Firewall Windows also not be.

    My computer rebooting in itself guard so I can't complete a virus scan.  In one place, he suggested I have try in Safe Mode, but it didn't work (and he told me that it did not work because I couldn't connect to the internet).  I tried "Safe Mode with networking" and he would not even let me scan.

    Another thing, the last time that I tried to scan it got stuck on "Internet C:\Windows\SysWOW64A\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary / / Desktop.ini.  This makes me think that this could be the problem, so I tried to get him to put the file in "VirusTotal.  I was able to get to him before that I got the idea to put it in "VirusTotal" but now it won't let me and he says:

    "You don't have currently not allowed to access this folder."

    "Click Conitnue to have permanent access to this folder."

    When I try to click on "Continue", it only ever through.

    I tried to change the 'Owner' under 'Security' tab but it still doesn't work, so I can't check to see if the file is a virus.

    Should I try to download a new antivirus program to scan my computer?

    Sorry if this is in the wrong category.  I have so many problems, it is not easy to categorize.

    Uninstalling McAfee completely.

    Do not use any product that claims to make your computer run better.  Almost all of them are either false, themselves, an infection, or put your computer at risk. Delete everything that claims to be there to prevent the infections or pretends to make your computer work better, except for the singular than an antivirus product.

    It is a controversial topic, but your choice of AV software may be something you want to take a 2nd look.  I suggest you visit this website to get an idea of what AV software made the best work, depending on what type of user you are: http://www.av-comparatives.org/ is a non-profit that has been around for a long time and I hope that their results.

    When you interpret these results, remember the difference between a product that detects 95% and the other 99% of infections, it is actually 5 times more likely to allow an infection.

    I pick up after about 150 Windows PCs and I have more than 13 years.  Until last September, the only AV software that I would allow my clients to use was Norton Antivirus.  Note that this is not the same as any other product, Norton 360 or Internet Security.  My clients rarely know infections.

    Last September, Symantec (Norton owner) decided to no longer sell such a product.  After much research, I decided on Bitdefender Antivirus 2015 +.  I installed it on most of these PCs to date and has never been a problem, and it has been on a course of about 11 months now...  It is a better product than Norton.  It is also cheap. One of the things I love the most about it, is the silence and discretion.  Especially if silenced you its function "portfolio".

    My customers know that if they install any product of 'Internet Security', I won't work on their computers until it is deleted.  Very well, I learned the hard way that other components of these products (other than the AV itself) IS causing more problems than any profit that they bring and work mainly by stopping the Windows component that does a very good job of this particular task still.  The problem is that when I started to work on a computer with an IS on it, I could spend hours trying to diagnose the problem, only to find out that by taking the product of the IS, the problems have become much clearer and easier to solve.  I think that the product of the IS actually hides the problem.

    As I said, this is a controversial topic and you will find many different very strong opinions.  I know that mine is based on a fairly large sample over a long period, and are consumers of consumer type Windows.

    Please note.  You should never have more than one protection software installed.  Always make sure that you completely remove the firmware all protection before installing a new one.  That contains software that may have come preinstalled on your computer when it's new

    Totally impossible to delete most of all AV software simply by using the standard uninstallation tool Windows 7.  Most of the majors also publishes a "removal tool" that gets the rest.  If you do not completely remove it, it will cause very hard to understand and diagnose problems.

  • Disk utility will not let me click on the partition.

    I've updated to El Capitan, disk utility since refuses to let me click on partition.

    Accidentally, I partitioned my disk flash before I updated and so I need to cancel, because now I have 200 MB of storage on it.

    I tried using terminal but I have been unable to fix this way, too.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Thank you

    Make sure that all your files are backed up. Accidents happen and I'd hate for you to lose all data.

    Are you trying to repartition the boot disk? If I understand correctly, your hard disk is currently partitioned, and you need to recover a single correct hard drive?

    You can't repair the disk hard while you use the hard disk. To get the partition on a single disk, boot from the recovery disc.

    Restart the computer and press immediately on and hold command-R until you see a loading bar, and then release the keys. Once the recovery disc starts, choose your language (if it asks you to) and then again open disk utility. Now, select your hard drive and delete the extra partition. It should tell you "this will not affect your files...". "but if he says that you will lose all data, STOP. Make sure that you remove the extra partition without data on this subject. I'm guessing that it's called "Untitled 1" or something that affects unless you named it something different.
