I downloaded Superantispyware.com on my netbook with Windows 7 starter.The security center notes that windows defender real time is turned off which is correct.There is a button to scan for other antivirus programs. However, windows 7 will not recognize my antivirus software. How do I correct this?

View 4 Replies View Relatedi did a registry cleaner(to erase some entries of a bad uninstalled software) (with comodo registry cleaner) after restart i notice that the antivirus and firewall icons on the clock area were gone, after couple of restarts they came back.... now the activity center flag is delayed (bt now i dont remember if it is normal or not) and once the flag is there i test the activity center by disabling firewall, then the flag come out with a red "x", but not with the antivirus.In this picture, as you seei have disabled both, antivirus and firewall and it only shows the firewall as "important" message.should not show the antivirus status as an important message too?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just built my pc and everything has been a success!
I attempted to install McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 13 on my new PC since I got it for free from school.
Before installing a message popped up saying "This program has known compatibility issues" and at the bottom it says to check for solutions or run the program. I ignored it and ran the program anyway. After going through the steps installing the security center, virus scan, firewall, siteadvisor, and etc. a message pops up after each item has a check next to it.
The message says McAfee integrated security platform installer has stopped working. then i have to close the program. I believe this is because it is an older version of McAfee that is not supported by Windows 7.
What is a good antivirus software that I can get for free?
I heard that Avast and Avira are good, but i am not sure which one to install.
I am not too sure about Microsoft Security Essentials because that seems to be a prime target to try and hack.
Any suggestions?
net-book comes with stupid McAfee when it says to register it wont workso if delete it i can use a windows firewall?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI got a virus (winupgro.exe). Afterwards, that program showed up in my task manager, but I was unable to end the process. I also got a notification that I would need to restart my computer in order to turn off UAC. Since I did not want to turn off UAC, I went back in, and turned the UAC back on. I then ran a virus scan with Norton. It didnt seem to find my virus, so I just shut down the computer.Winupgro.exe no longer shows up in task manager, but I cannot turn on Windows Security Center - getting the dialog box "The Windows Security Center service can't be started".Malwarebytes was able to find and remove it, but I still cannot open windows security center (after a restart).I used FreeCommander to run create md5 checksums. After searching the output file, I did not find any references to winupgro or its checksum string.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed Windows 7 over my VISTA OS on my new Toshiba Notebook. Since I have only 3 GB of RAM I installed the 32 Bit Version of Windows 7...
VERY DISAPPOINTED immediately as I encountered 2 issues
1. McAfee Security Center is alerting me that software is Not Compatible....
2. Internet Explorer barely runs... and when I exit IE, there is no less than 30 second delay before the window closes... even if I have just opened IE and immediately close (meaning nothing has cached to be cleared)..

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking to start a small business removing Virus's and also spyware. I know I could just hook up their Hard drives to my PC and scan them that way and I may be able to hook their PC to notebook and scan their PC, not sure if I could do that.
But I was hoping there may be a very good antivrus program that I could just run from a CD or DVD before it boots into windows or maybe from a Thumbdrive.
It would also be great if there was a very good Spyware program that could be ran the same way.
I really don't want to remove their hard drives to do this unless I have to.
I would enjoy building PC's to sell but can't see were I could make any money doing it.
after i managed to remove a virus on my computer (system defender) i get this message to turn on the windows security center service, but when i try to do that i get the message "the windows security center service can't be started".. the security center properties is on automatic... but the message is still on.. i tried to do a system restore but it doesn't give me an option date before the virus attack. i have windows 7 home edition..
View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently I am having problem to turn on my window security center. Solution that I have tried is:
1- By going to services>>properties>>automatic /automatic (delayed start) - failed
2- Already scan with malwarebytes anti-malware and removed affected files - failed
Because of this, I cannot install or update my windows update and antivirus.
I did a normal registry scan and there were some errors and I clicked to fix them. Now Action Center doesn't show in the task bar...So I search for it and click on it and it tells me that Windows Security Center service is turned off...I click on the button to turn it on and it tell me that it cannot start...I've been searching online for a solution to my problem and I have seen other posts about people having a similar problem...Going to services doesn't work for me...I'm assuming that since Winutilities removes random HKEYs, that might be my problem...Now, how do i get these HKEYS back?

View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently I got a Antivirus Antispyware virus on my computer, I ran Rkill and then Malwarebytes and it found the virus and I removed it. However now my Windows 7 Security Center firewall and my McAfee firewall will not turn on. With my Windows 7 Security center, when I try and turn it on it prompts me with a message that says 'Action center cannot turn firewall on, turn windows firewall on manually' so I click on that and I click the recommended settings and it gives me a message saying 'Windows firewall can't change some of your settings. Error code 0x80070422'. My McAfee fire wall will turn on for a second and then automatically turn off. I have tried many things and seeked for many solutions but so far none of them have worked.
