Y at - it an anti virus that goes with my default firewall for windows xp
Y at - it an anti virus that goes with my default firewall for windows xp? I had microsoft essentials, but it comes with a separate firewall
Microsoft Security Essentials does not include a firewall, it fits with the (default) Windows Firewall. During installation, Microsoft Security Essentials scans the PC to determine if a firewall is enabled on the PC. If no firewall protection is present, you can turn on the Windows Firewall. See features and benefits-Windows Firewall integration. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials/product-information
What do you currently use for antivirus protection? If none came preinstalled on a trial basis? You make sure that you remove any other antimvirus/anitmalware real-time software before installing MSE? Refer to the following:
List of product anti-malware removal tools
http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/protect/Forum/protect_start/list-of-anti-malware-program-cleanupuninstall/407bf6da-C05D-4546-8788-0aa4c25a1f91
OR http://experts.Windows.com/w/experts_wiki/156.aspx
Checklist for installation of Microsoft Security Essentials

OR http://experts.Windows.com/w/experts_wiki/89.aspx
No antivirus/antimalware software will offer 100% protection. MSE is as good, if not better than the other free and paid for the products. It is well suited for older machines to XP because it is light on the use of resources and as stated earlier suits well with the firewall of Windows (default).
I hope this helps.

The only thing that makes me think it would be a problem. Is that my Norton Anti virus has arisen with a high use of the computer. I know I've read online others with this nuisance with NAV. It worries me just because of what I do. :)
Hello
Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm Vineeth and I Support of Norton team.
You will receive this alert from the Performance of your Norton product alert feature. Your Norton product monitors the performance of your system. If it detects an increased use of system resources by any program or process, it warns you with the performance alerts. Performance alert informs you with information about the name of the program and the resources that the program uses excessively.
If you don't want to use this feature, you can disable it in settings. For more information, read:I receive alerts on high of the processor or the use of the high memory of my Norton product

I installed windows 7. In the old version of win xp, I got an anti virus, but I cannot replace it in the windows.old folder
You cannot extract a whole program from the Windows.old folder, it is used to recover individual files.
You must reinstall the antivirus from the original media. Most AV programs can be downloaded from the Web
Consider installing Microsoft's Security Essentials Antivirus program. It is clean, simple and free.

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.
Norman
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.

cant get anti virus program to turn it on in the windows Security Center
I have windows vista and an alert pops up, saying: my antivirus program is disabled. I opened Security Center says AVG anti virus reports that it is turned off. I clicked on the button, and it didn't turn it on. another box pops up asking if I trust this program click Yes, I have confidence in it. Yet once, nothing happens. any suggestions on something that I could try.
Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. Windows regularly checks if an antivirus program is installed on your computer, that they are running, and that it is up-to-date. The status of your antivirus program is displayed in Windows Security Center. However, Windows doesn't detect all antivirus programs, and some antivirus programs report their status to Windows.
If you receive notifications related to security on your virus protection software, but you know that your antivirus software is installed and updated, you can follow the steps below to stop receiving these notifications. You should do this only if you are unsure that you have a full, the up-to-date antivirus program installed on your computer and that real-time scanning, which checks every file before it is opened or used, is turned on.
To specify that you are using an antivirus program that Windows does not find
Open Security Center.
Click on protection against malware, and then, under virus protection, click on show me my available options.
In the Windows Security Center dialog box, click on I have an antivirus program that I will control myself. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Security Center displays your antivirus settings as not monitored, and you will not receive more notifications about your virus protection software.
Note
The show me my link options is not available when the Virus protection setting is marked on.

Original title: Phantom appearance of reference of Kaspersky Anti-virus in my system.
I get a problem report "Kaspersky Anti-virus has stopped working properly." and "to resolve this problem, run the update automatic tool provided with I have never installed this program, and it does not appear in my list of installed programs, in fact I never heard before that." Why do I get this message? What should I do about it? (My security program is Panda Global Protection 2012, if by chance it has something to do with it.)
I did a full restore, but the error has occurred three times today. I know that Kaspersky is not on my computer and has never been. I think it's a virus. http://imgur.com/vjcgF

Can I reinstall Win7 recovery disks without all the other stuff that goes with it?
It's time to clean this HPE-510 PC. It's a slow and clumsy mess. I have a set of five CDs in a stimulus package that I bought from HP. (Why so much?) If someone has purchased a copy of Windows 7 in a store they would get more than one disc?
What I really want to know.
After I reformat or wipe the HD can I install just Windows 7 and maybe Office Starter and nothing else? I don't want unnecessary stuff that came with the PC. Is there something in addition to Windows and Office, I really need?
Thank you
Richard
Hello
Five 5 DVD CD? Why so much of? Well, they all contain the installation program (including drivers) for you to grab the device to the factory settings.
If someoe bought a Windows 7 DVD in the store, they will receive ONLY 1 disc and it is the Windows 7 installation disc that contains packed (or compressed in one direction) files for Windows 7 only, no real drivers.
After installing Windows 7, you need all the drivers for your machine then Office Starter (if you could find it now). You also need something to protect your computer as a software virus or Windows Security Essentials.
Kind regards.

I have these sides:
CPU - 4.7
RAM - 4.8
Graphics - 5.9
G. graphics - 5.9
Disk hard - 5.7
What I want is to be able to tell how my graphics card is really because it's maxed out at 5.9. I know that if I was running 7 it would be 6. _ or maybe even 7. _. So is there an update I can download for vista which will allow my ratings reach the coast on windows 7?
Not - or at least not likely (but the drivers, firmware or software updates regular for the device using Vista may helo). The ratings are based on this device using the disks appropriate for your version of Vista device and it. How it works in Windows 7 (if it works in Windows 7) is from THESE drivers and the operating system (and other components on this computer). Even if you can and did move to Windows 7, there is no guarantee that you would get all the numbers even better less significantly better numbers - although it is certainly possible amd I know that it has been the case for others who have updated.
The best place to check the updates of device driveer (or firmware or software related, if applicable) is either the manufacturer of the computer if it came with the computer or the manufacturer of the device. Their websites should have the links and downloads and they will be the most recent and the best available (better that what you could get through Microsoft - in fact, I suggest strongly you never use the drivers supplied by Microsoft and always bring manufacturers directly. What is the most recent will be available to give you the best possible results (before the upgrade of the unit such as adding more RAM tp the video card if your system and it can accept more RAM).
You cannot use Windows 7 device on a Vista machine drivers. Not only which won't work (if it allows even the facility) and will not improve ratings but that could seriously damage your system or device. Please take my word on it and don't even consider that it.
Just check out the manufacturers for updates of device (drivers, firmware and/or software) and keep your system up-to-date with the latest available, and that's the best you can do.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
