Turned Security Center To Automatic And Restarted The Service?
May 16, 2008
I just installed a fresh installation of Enterprisex64 a couple days ago. As I've been building up the system I mapped a drive to another computer on my network and continued to setup the new PC. Last night after installing a couple different DVD Burning programs (Roxio10 & Nero 8) I rebooted a couple times and noticed that my Security Center was turned off. I went into the services, turned it to Automatic and restarted the service.
Then I continued my work on building my system and realized I couldn't connect to my mapped drive, only to realize I could no longer see other computers on my network via Network Neighborhood or by \computername. My other computers on the network can see each other, just not this new box...........
Security Center reports my firewall (Online Armor) as turned off when its working. I have tried rebuilding and deleting the WMI Repository it seems to work for a few days then Security Center reports online Armor is turned off.
Whenever i log into my pc i get a warning from Windows Security Center sayin that AVG anti virus is turned off, when avg is actually running and the tray icon is showing in the system tray. Ive clicked on turn on now but Windows Security Center keeps comming up when i log in and i cant see whats wrong. Im running windows vista home premium 32-bit and AVG 8 free ...
The following is a consistent warning that when this event happens it causes a hang in the os. Was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a driver that can take the place of the nvidia nforce sata control driver as the issue is caused by this driver....
I have DL a trogen and it seems to affected my browsers. My email works as well as quicken and Limewire as well as other update programs, but both of my browsers say they cannot display any webpages. Also, my security service center cannot be started.
Machine has an issue with the Security Center. Cannot launch most programs but can navigate the internet. Permissions problems prevent me from starting security center services. I know I can wipe the machine but there are some things I would like to retrieve... one being the Office 2007 PID.
I built my first ever system in December (vista 64) and didn't have a single problem it was all working fine, Until now! last week I installed my new wireless printer and did a windows update (automatic turned off) ever since that when the desktop first opens it takes 20-30min to load Webroot firewall, antivirus and if I try to open any other application it just freezes so I have to 'end task' constantly. However I can still open internet explorer and Google! even though it say I'm disconnected in the start menu tray.
After 20-30min everything's fine and all software and applications load up as normal, the only thing that doesn't happen anymore is it used to tell me that "my system is protected against a single hard drive failure" due to the raid 1, I've checked the storage manager and the status now says normal although post printer installation it did say 'verifying and repairing'.
the icon keeps coming up at the center is turned off and i cant seem to put it back on..the firewall and defender seems to be on and the updates but it says the security centre cant not be started. can anyone tell me how to switch it on :S...thx sab
I have two computers running Vista Home Premium. When Service Pack 1 came out, my desktop, which is a clone I built myself, downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 without any problem, but my Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop seems oblivious to Service Pack 1's existence. Although automatic update is on both computers with similar settings (full automatic update), and the laptop has downloaded a number of updates since then and keeps telling me the computer is up to date, I can't help wondering why Service Pack 1 hasn't downloaded and installed, and whether I should install it manually or just assume the computer has a good reason to not install it and leave it alone.
Some time ago I turned off "Tablet Input Service" from services, now I need snippping tool, so I turned it back on, unfortunately it doesn't work, I can't find it in start/all programs/accessories :-( I also tried "turn windows features on or off"(Control PanelPrograms and Features)to activate "tablet pc optional components" but after some minutes it answers me with a generic "An error has occurred. Not all of the features were successfully changed"
We are running an old CA program for our antivirus here at school. It is called inoculateIT. It has performed well for us, so we've never upgraded to their newer offerings. To install it, you use a remote install program located on the domain controller. I just bought the first Vista computer to try out here and upon trying to install this program, it cannot find the path. When this happened with XP, it was because the Windows firewall was turned on. I have turned it off in Vista and disabled the firewall service, but still get the same message. It shows up in the list of computers in the remote install program's browser just like it does in the active directory list. I just believe it has something to do with the security in Vista that is blocking it.
It seems that all my desktop shortcuts have turned into white squares. It happened after the installation of last weeks security update.(at least I assume it was caused by the update.
I recently removed spyware off of a system Dell Inspiron 530s Running Windows Vista Home Basic.
I used Malware Bytes, and once removed, the computer wouldnt go on line.
I had the owner open up the Services Console and discovered that Security Center, Workstation, Server, and Windows Defender Services were disabled.
I changed the start-up types on these services and for each service I got an error stating that the service cannot start because of windows resource protection service.
I then had the owner run the sfc /scannow and got the same windows resource protection error....
My pc was infected a virus recently and it blocks me from turning my security center. I went through a virus scan and deleted it successfully but somehow I still cannot turn on the security center. How could I do to solve this?
I'm trying to help out my sister on her laptop (Compaq Vista 32bit). Here are the problems:
Can not access Windows Security Center.. It comes up on the tool bar red with the X. When you try to open it either off the tool bar or even through the Control Center you get: A "open with" window to select the program to open "rundll32.exe". I have tried the tutuorial on this site to change security center from disabled to automatic, this did not work, it defaults back to disabled. Will not start up the Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus program automatically on startup. You must manaul start and either run as adminstrator to start or go through the "open with window" process. All program starts require to go through the "open with window" approach and some that does not work and you need to right click on the program and "run as administrator" to start the program (i.e. intenet exployer). I have manually run Microsoft Security Essentials and removed numerous virus and trojans.
Is it possible to disable the Security Center Alerts on Vista (no icon, no notifications) via command line or by script? Turning off UAC by modifying a certain registry entry turned out to be easy (using the reg.exe command line utility), however I can't find a way to do the same for the Security Center Alerts. I am willing to write some scripting code if that is what it takes.
so i ran reliability and performance monitor and it said that security center did not record an antivirus software. however, when i check security center itself, it says everything is on and has the green light beside avast! home edition. I have updated everything and tried reinstalls, but it does not help. I am running a vista home premium 64 bit on a toshiba L300.
I just updated Norton 2007 and installed Norton 2008, now Security Center notifies me that I don't have anti-virus protection, but norton appears to be operating correctly?
I am having some problems with my computer. I had a trojan, that I now have got rid off, but the thing is that I can't turn on the secutiry center. I get this message:
Every single time I log in to Windows, that bloody little pop-up comes in the notification area saying that my UAC is off and that this is a horrible problem.I know it's off. I turned it off. Why the hell would I be unaware of that?
So my question is, how do I stop that annoying notice coming up every single time I start Windows?
The 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?
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.
I've lost access to the Security Center page. All components, i.e., Firewall, Defender, etc. are still individually accessible and working fine with my Norton 360 v2. However all links to the Security Center page: Welcome Center, Control Panel, and Help & Support no longer work. I've tried the System File checker and System Restore utilities to no avail.Short of reinstalling Windows Vista and its SP1, is there anything else I can try?
The new Windows Security Center in Windows Vista can be just as annoying as the security centers in previous versions of Windows. I am an advanced of a computer user to know that I do not have anti-virus software installed. I don't need the Windows Security Center to remind me that all the time.
Thankfully there is a new easy way to disable the security center messages.
Click on the Security Center/Windows Security Alerts logo in the system tray.
Click Change the way Security Center alerts me.
Select I do not want notification messages from Security Center.
After recently downloading recommended updates to my Windows Vista Ultimate system when I use MS I.E. to browse I get a red screen with the warning "Personal Security Alert New Data Base Update is Available. Viruses Detected on your PC. Following this is a signup sheet to subscribe ($$) to their Personal Security System. I can't get away from this screen without starting over with IE and once again the same thing happens! My ISP gives me a free McAfee Firewall and Virus Detection System which I have installed. I have turned off MS firewall and Anti Virus System. McAfee has scanned my system and reported it is clean.
I am currently having a problem with my Vista machine. Only recently I noticed Security center, Windows update, Windows defender, and windows firewall weren't functioning. The services to run these programs aren't there. For example, the security center service isn't in services. System restore is a no go as, well, that got disabled to My guess is a virus or some sort of malware got onto my pc and played riot. I got AVG internet security. I am hoping that I don't have to do a clean install.
I am running Vista x64 Several months ago I got a nasty trojan which removed the Security Center from my computer. I didn't think it as a big deal as I have several other anti-viruses installed, but I've come to a situation where I require windows firewall to be on. When I attempt to start windows security center, I get the error "The Security Service cannot be started" .Now according to several other hundred threads, I'm supposed to go to "Services" and change "Security Center" to automatic.The only problem is, Security Center is not under Services as thetrojan removed it.
To make matters worse, HP programmers thought it would be cool to not include a vista OS installation disk, but instead add a crappy program on the computer that would allow you to replace programs, but unfortunately it cannot repair my security center.
When I start up my computer, there is a pop up that says that Windows Firewall is turned off. I click the button to turn it on and then a screen pops up that says "Security Center cannot turn on Windows Firewall." I then click on "Turn on Windows Firewall manually." It then says that it isn't using the recommended settings to protect my computer. I click "update settings now" but then it says that it was unable to make the requested updates. I use Windows Vista and I've had my computer for a year now. This only happened the other day and I have Symantec installed as my anti-virus program. How can I turn Windows Firewall on again?
How do I get Vista to stop annoying me about opening programs either at startup or when I open them manually? I've trying opening the security center and telling Vista not to alert me or display tray icon. But when I start up, I still get a publisher-not-verified warning about a program I want to run. And when I try to open it manually (or another app that contains an internal server), Vista (shield.exe) stops and asks me if I want to run it. If I take the checkmark out of "Always warn about this type of program," it's there's the next time anyway. I'd like to disable all this stuff. How do I go about it?
