How To Stop Windows Security From Blocking Programs
Mar 18, 2011
I am using window 7 pro. with MS office 10 and other non Microsoft programs. On Monday while I was updating my iPhone OS using ITunes, ITunes gave me an error message stating that it lost connection with my iPhone. I rebooted the Laptop and too many problems started to pop up since then. For starters, my iPhone was wiped out, where the only way to restore it was by going to the Apple store. Now, ITunes gives me Error 50?! The Apple Store tech avers that ITunes has nothing to do with the problem.
Since then, the majority of my programs are not working those that run require my permission to execute including Windows components such as control panel, security, uninstall, program install, etc. Excel and MS Word are working, but Outlook, Outlook safe mode, OneNote, ITunes, Skype, Adobe, windows troubleshoot, McAfee, Chrome, etc. are not working. They all missing important files or give me an error message. In contrast, I created a new user account without Administrative right. I can run all programs without any problems using this account, except for having to reconfigure everything all over again and having to provide an administrator's permission virtually after every click. I ran chkdsk, desk defragment and McAfee scans from the new user's account and all ran flawlessly and reported that my system is clean with no virus or bad sectors. I have 180 GB of free space. Note: I broke the screen on my lap top, and I used the HD in an exterior HD shell to retrieve some files while I was waiting on my LCD replacement. I had no issues before hand. The ITunes problem started after I reinstalled the HD in the Laptop.
Windows Security is blocking absolutely everything. I mean everything from downloaded and installed software to Windows core software and programs. The only thing it will seem to run is explorer.exe.Here is a screenshot of trying to open User Account Control from Control Panel. Sorry for the quality but I had to take picture on phone as can't take screenshot and upload as nothing will run.The original, slightly less, strange thing is the lack of running processes in Task Manager. Usually even on a clean new laptop then are half a dozen or more, from Windows own core stuff to manufacturer install rubbish. On this thing there is only the follow core services.
when i surf the internet about 50% of the time i get the error "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". And when i hit the troubleshoot tab it states "security or firewall settings might be blocking connection"
I seem to have had a surge of spam. Many supposedly from "techdaily at (various domains)" Any others have this?Whats the specific difference between blocking the sender versus blocking the senders domain?
I think it may be a security policy setting on the PC. The issue is that I had to change some settings because we access a UNIX server for our old ERP, a Windows Server2008 for our new ERP, and use Windows Server2003s for our VPN, File and Domain controllers. For workstations we have a mix of XP, and Win7 machines. The only computers having issues are the Win7 machines. We use Dell Vostro 460's, doubt the stats are really necessary. But they run Win7 Professional 64-bit.So I had to flip the following settings to communicate with the UNIX server:Network security: LAN Manager authentication level = Send NTLMv2 responses onlyNetwork security: Mininum session security for NTLM SSP Based (both on the client and server) = No minimum (from 128-bit default)Network security: Restrict NTLM: Add remote server exceptions for NTLM authentication = I input the domain IP addresses and server nameNetwork security: Restrict NTLM: Add server exceptions in this domain = I input the domain IP addresses and server name The only other system changes I made were dropping the User Account Control Settings to the second to the lowest setting (Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer...) because the constant pop ups are annoying. I also set the network user login as an administrator on their local computers when I set up their accounts on their computers.A few different scenarios play out:
1. When one of my employees is trying to access a network file (excel), she is unable to. The program will launch, but the file cannot be opened from her workstation. IN the lower right hand corner of the Excel window I will see the progress bar move, then it does nothing. The program will hang and has to be force closed. This file is on a shared drive on a Win2003 server (completely open to all domain users.)
2. When trying to save an IE9 file, the user is not able to change their target location, and when they do, it freezes IE9.
3. When trying to attach a file to an e-mail, the users are not able to browse their computers to find the files they want to attach.
I have recurring "not responding" programs in Win 7. The affected programs are MS Office, Cad programs, Photoshop, etc. I tested my ram and all is good. Processor and temps are all excellent. Hard drive has no bad sectors. All drivers have been updated. Problem usually (but not always) goes away after reboot. Velocity Micro running Win 7 64, 8 GB ram, Intel core i7 870, nvidia gx 275.
Quite frequently windows or a program will stop responding, locking up my computer. I was running a /verifyonly, and at 30% it stopped. A few minutes later the following error presented itself.
mcagent.exe - Application Error
The instruction at 0xe7bcdcd5 referred to memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be read.
Dell Desktop Windows XP 32 IE 7 no free memory to download anything. Can't remove programs, no security tab. No windows installer in safe mode. I've confused myself now.Cannot access any file due to permissions. Need to know how to remove programs, then reset permissions. I've been trying to work on this for two days. Can't seem to make sense of any of the great information and tools available, because I don't know which to address first.
A colleague of mine using the 64bit version of Windows 7 Enterprise has been having this problem for the past day or so. No matter what program he's using, as soon as he clicks print, the program stops responding. This even happens if you try to print a test page - Windows Explorer stops responding. It's not printer specific, since this happens before you have the option to select a printer (and he has several, one local printer and a few network printers). I've tried running the troubleshooting tool, but all that does is restart the print spooler, which doesn't stop the problem.
I just reinstalled my windows 7 (64-bit, home) because needed to kill some viruses. After reinstallation, most software will crash when double click, including media player etc. But If I run these software as administrator, it is OK.And double click IE 9 64-bit is good, no need to run as administrator, but IE 9 32-bit and Chrome will crash if they are not run as administrator.After the software crash, sometimes it will show some error message such as "the instruction at 0xxxxxxxxx referenced memory 0xxxxxxxxxxx. The memory could not be written."It is weird that I can not double click a mp3 to automatically open the media player to play the song, and constantly need to right click the player to run as administrator and drag the mp3 into player, too much trouble.I have done all updates of windows 7. It is still the same.
My Internet Explorer and Real Player programs stop responding on almost a daily basis.I'm wondering if these problems are hurting my computer because i just got it fixed and how to stop them from happening again.
I have started my weekly scan with Microsoft Security Essentials when I have noticed some things:
- MSE stalled on a specific file which posed no problem in the past and the timer refused to increase even after 10 or so minutes. - MSE has locked up my computer or slowed it down to the point where I have to do a hard restart. This never happened before - Other programs have taken a major performance hit like Google Chrome for example. Even Windows 7's explorer has locked up time to time. - System restore is not working since it stalled on the initializing phase for at least 30 minutes without significant progress, prompting a hard restart. - It took a lot longer for the system to shutdown normally.
I have issues on the computer that I have not have before and I'm not sure why. Is there a solution that does not involve a clean re-install? I do not have the DVDs since the laptop has Windows 7 built in and they did not give me a CD.
some of my programs like completly stoped working like go to play them and they worked before i my computer wouldnt come outta sleep mode and now the programs that were just apear with a program stop working/responding and just recently another program has started to say program has stopped working/responding and all i did was open it and just wondering if anyone got any ideas but mostly i am just gonna format if i cant fix it
I am having a big issue with my computer. I originally ran windows xp professional until i upgraded to adobe cs5 and needed to switch to windows 7.now that i have windows 7 my programs stop working constantly. if i'm working in photoshop on a large photo the screen will go blank and a bubble will pop-up saying "driver stopped working but has started working again" and a lot of times photoshop, illustrator, and FL Studio will stop working and need to be shut down and started again. i've noticed sometimes when the computer is on overnight i'll wake up and it will be off. when i turn on the computer it will say that it didn't shut down properly. i was in the process of doing batch photo edits and it shut down on me right in the middle so i've got to figure out the problem. since i use this computer for freelance graphic design and photography. here are my specs.
since i install CCCP 2011 (both of 2011 versions) some old programs stop to detect AVI formats in my pc and keep telling me it unknown format, video players working fine, and even editer programs such as movie maker, premier, and sony vegas, but old programs such as: 123 AVI to GIF Converter,Ulead GIF Animator 5,Gif Creator, and EximiousSoft GIF Creator v5.75 stop detected AVI!i assume the new cccp stop using some sort of filter or codec, i also notice that even progrems like movie maker edit my videos in totaly low quality.. no mattar what i change in the options (and yea , i done clean install to cccp 2011 , delete the old one, restart, delete leftover, install cccp 2011). there is any kind of codec that can run AVI files without interfere with cccp?
So my laptop was working fine last night, woke up this morning and this issue appeared. I'm guessing it's a virus (stupidly, I haven't installed an AVP on this machine yet). Anyways, I can't open anything. Doesn't matter where I try to open the program or file from. The load icon appears but nothing happens. I also can't access the task manager or shut down/log off/etc. from the start menu, I get a "Failure to display security and shut down options" error msg. I'm in safe mode with networking right now, which is allowing me to open programs. I've already tried a system restore but it didn't solve the problem.
I am running Windows 7 and am using Verizon DSL to connect to the Internet using an Ethernet cable. I am having an issue with loading content from the Internet. Some sites, such as Google, load but then if navigate from them, nothing happens. Other sites, such as CNN never load and timeout after a couple minutes. I think the problem is with the computer and Windows 7 because if I go wireless using the same router with my iPhone, I have no problem loading these same sites. Everything worked fine a few weeks ago so something changed but I have no idea what. I did have McAfee antivirus on the computer but uninstalled it hoping that might solve the problem - it didn't. Is there some setting in Windows 7 that is blocking these sites from loading.
I have windows-7 and I went on the "JPL small body data base" site and to use one of the features I would have to download some active-x software. When I ok this to download I get a message that says that windows has blocked it because they don't know them. Is there any way to let me make the decisions instead of windows?
We are building an 2 application that connect to 127.0.0.1:30303.They are used to send data from app A to app B, acting as a local p2p connection. On windows XP, everything runs as it should. On windows 7 it doesn't work anymore.We've tried turning off the firewalls, opening ports etc but we cannot get this connection to work on Windows 7. Anyone got an idea of what changed in Windows 7 regarding tcp/udp or socket changes?
I'm currently sharing my internet connection with another computer (both run windows 7). The other computer can only access the internet if the computer holding the dial up connection has windows firewall turned off. I tried to add an exception in windows firewall for port 80 but did not have any effect.The local area connection adapter on the computer that's holding the internet connection has the following settings: [code] the other computer has obtain IP and DNS address automatically Using ADSL modem is a Sagem F@st 800 to connect to the internet no router used, just a simple cat-45 cable (i think that's the name of the cable!)

so i recently downloaded a series of windows updates. i guess it's been a while. anyway. ever since i've downloaded and installed the updates, not all content is loading on webpages. also, everytime i try to load aim, it starts to open but randomly closes.for instance on twitter, no matter what link i go to or what i click on, it just goes to the main page. in addition, when i click on a link that should prompt a menu, it won't work. oh and Internet videos aren't loading.
I have a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on a new hard drive.
I have only installed 5 programs. CorelDraw, Adobe Creative Suite CS3, Jing (screen capture utility) Webroot Antivirus -Anti-Spyware for Windows 7 and WIDCOMM Bluetooth software for Win 7.
I installed Corel and Adobe...rebooted ...everything was fine.
I installed Webroot and WIDCOMM...rebooted...absolutely no internet connection.
I uninstall WIDCOMM then reboot. Still no internet.
I uninstall Webroot then reboot. Still no internet.
I reboot and then turn off Windows Firewall...reboot again. I have internet.
I turn Windows Firewall back on and reboot. No internet.
I turn Windows Firewall back off, reboot. I have internet.
So, I do a System Restore to the point before I installed the Webroot and WIDCOMM software and I have internet and it works fine.
Why would either of these software effect windows firewall in such a way as to disable internet access?
Is there some setting that I need to change / allow or something inside of Windows Firewall? I find it odd that with the firewall disabled I am able to get on the internet, but with it enabled, I can't at all.
I used the standard trick of assigning permissions to the "Everyone" group to allow file sharing among all the Windows 7 and winXP computers on my home network. All was working fine until my son took his computer to school and they made him load their security software. When he came home for the summer, his computer could still see the network and file shares, but none of the other computers could see his shared files. This persisted even after I uninstalled the anti-virus software they made him install. I can fix the problem by disabling the windows firewall on his computer. That is probably safe here because of the firewall in my router, but I'm worried that might not be safe when he connects to other networks. Plus I can leave the windows firewall enabled on all my other computers, so I suspect there should be a better way around this problem. If I click "Diagnose" when my computer can't access my son's computer I get a message that says that windows can't find IPC$. So on my son's computer I opened a dos window and typed "net share ipc$" (a command I found from a google search about this problem). The response to this command was "System error 5 has occured; Access Denied".
I buy a data bundle to access the net on my computer from a mobile phone operator.I pay per meg and I get so frustrated when some impertinent background program jumps on the network to download megs of data every time I connect using up my data minutes without my consent!Iv tried turning off automatic Windows and antivirus updates, but still I dont know what is abusing my network connection every time I go online!Is there any way I can block ALL network accesses except from the browser, for instant, so I can enjoy browsing without worrying about what may be raking up my data bill in the background?
My sister's computer is an HP Pavilion dv5t-2200 notebook PC running its native OS, Windows 7 Home Premium x64. In the last 24 hours, Avast found and attempted to remove some sort of malware. After the reboot, it recommended a full scan. After the scan was completed, the computer rebooted again. This is where the real problems began.With the exception of core programs and services, no other program will launch. Not Chrome, not AIM, not even Avast!. The only HP program still installed on the system, HP Support Assistant, will not start. Attempting to use Windows System Restore results in a BSOD as the computer is shutting down to begin the restore process. Upon returning to the desktop, a dialog box recommends that we run chkdsk, but of course that won't even launch.
Internet Explorer will launch, but the campus network requires a third-party client software install. Unfortunately, that's another program that will not launch.The computer has a recovery partition, but HP Recovery Manager is not installed or cannot be found, and attempts to download and install it have failed because 1) we cannot access the Internet to download it to the hard drive, and 2) it could not be installed from a flash drive containing the softpaq from HP.
