when trying to send a message with Windows Mail, would one get a Windows Security window stating "Windows Security LOG ON to Windows Live E-Mail Server" and then it asks for your login information?
View 5 RepliesMy computer must be infected. New Internet pages starts up continuously with advertizing and in particular urging me to download and install ???AntiSpywareSuite???. Warning windows with the text ???Windows Internet Explorer??? at the top of frame, also pop ups asking me: Do you want to install AntiSpywareSuite to scan your PC for malware now? (Recommended) I already have Microsoft malware and spyware protection running along with the latest Symantec antivirus suite. I have also run Lavasoft???s Ad Aware and removed all cookies and removed the latest programs that I have installed, but nothing has helped. I am running Vista Business.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just have a Vista 64 bit home premium that I got 3 weeks back. Lately it has been having problems. One thing was that the computer would randomly have BSODs with the error of 0x07e (I think, then again it might be part of the error number, not sure) In addition, I tried having the computer fix the errors by itself and it couldnt, later on I found that the security processor loading driver was not working. I tried to restart Vista with the installation disc, but what happened was that a BCD error came out with the numbers 0xc000014c.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy computer is running the concistency check. It's at stage 3 and when it's almost complete it's starts to "replace invalid security Id with default security id for file ******" it's been doing this for a while now and I was wondering what I can do to speed it up.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSeen lots on this - have tried to follow advice and even uninstalled McAfee and recreated mail account from scratch on Windows Mail - still no luck - still get the windows security prompt. Cannot download or send any emails. V. frustrating - especially when going through the risk of unistalling protection (which came pre-installed).
Is there a published document from Microsoft on this problem? Some definitive, clear, step-by-step advice for those who simply want to transfer from XP to Vista wihtout these unexpected, business damaging issues.
On starting up my Dell notebook today I got an alert from Windows Security Center that there were multiple issues with my computers security. When I opened the Security Center Alert it was indicating that my firewall was off and also that it could not detect any anti-virus software on the computer. The computer came with McAfee Security Center and when I open that it indicates that I'm totally protected. It of course has a firewall and anti-virus, etc.

Windows Security Alerts tells me that "AVG anti virus free reports that it is turned off." Whereas AVG reports "All security features are working correctly and are up to date" although I have inward and outward email checking turned off. Have found and downloaded a fix "reset_access_avg8_en.exe" from the AVG website but the notification icon persists.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have recently set up a new windows mail account and have spoken to my ISP and have upgraded account to now send emails. However, now when I try and send emails a different message comes up which is: Please verify that both username and password are correct for your mail server. So I put in the details, but it does not go anywhere, just keeps popping up with this message again. All I can think of is that I have forgotton which username and password are associated with this - how do I go about finding this out, or changing this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Vista Home Premium/2GB RAM/Core 2 duo I got this security alert today when I booted. When I open Windows Security Center it shows the problem that Windows Defender and Spyware Doctor are both turned off. That's as it should be and as it has always been. I have BitDefender Internet Security 2009 and it shows "No issue affects your
computer."
I used an elevated command to check that WMI and it shows as consistent. So
why did this alert suddenly start showing up?
I know I can turn the alerts off, but I'd much rather find out what caused
this problem and fix it.
Has anyone tried this program and if so, what do you think of it. I currently have the free Avast 5.0 and of course Windows Defender. I was wondering if I should stay with what I got or get Windows Live Essentials Security. I understand when you install it that it will turn off Windows Defender and I would have to uninstall Avast. I thought maybe some of you that are using it would be able to comment.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThe security center in my computer was disabled, firewall, defender and update. I reset it to active (auto). After I restart the computer those function were disabled again. Even my Norton antivirus software were disabled and the system won't allow to install again. Is this cause by a virus? If so is there a free program in Microsoft web site to remove it. Norton or McAfee said they can remove the malware for a fee ($100.00) even though I am using their software. Or I have to format the computer and reinstall everything. Can someone out there went through the similar problem please share your exprience and solution?
View 7 Replies View RelatedBought a Toshiba laptop 10 months ago and everything worked fine. With MS updates (only downloaded defender and Vista related items) things started to happen. Have worked through every problem except can not recieve emails. (Can send with no problem.) Have Cox internet and they determined I can recieve emails through their website so it is Vista interference. Spent two hours yesterday with Toshiba tech service trying to isolate and repair problem. Was not successful.
The problem is this: When Windows mail comes up, or when I hit send and receive, I get a box that says "Windows Security, Logon to POP.EAST.COX.NET" and the appropraite places to put in my Username and Password. When this is done, It just comes back with the same Windows Security box. The Toshiba Rep tried numerous things with accounts and the usual settings, changing passwords, setting up a new account and trying to use that and all resulted in the same "Windows Security" box. He feels that there is something in Windows Security that is out of whack and said to try to delete that program but could not find it to delete it. (I have router so no firewall is not a problem and AVG antivirus.)
i have a vista pc.since acquiring it,it has never ever downloaded updates even though it is set up to do it automatically.they all show as failed.As i write this,windows security centre is not responding as usual.Sometimes task manager will close it,but task manager has no minimize or close tab itself.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is a problem on a Windows Server, but this sort of thing is more of a general Windows problem.... so, onwards...One of our servers recently died and required restoring from backup, which went almost perfectly. The sole exception is that the server is now using Webdings/Wingdings for IE download dialogs and Windows security warning dialogs. And I have not the slightest idea why it's doing this. I've hit the search engines and help sites and haven't found anything, and the WindowsFonts folder is perfectly intact as far as I can tell.
