Norton Internet Security Has Been Replaced With Windows 7
Feb 10, 2013
on 8th Feb 2013, I noticed my norton security pane was missing from its usual place . It was instead replaced with window defender. When I checked norton , it was turned off but turning it on failed. I have never experienced something like this before. I have tried system restore but this has also failed .
I have an hp laptop, windows 7 ......should I run both windows defender and Norton internet security? Would running both slow my computer? If I should only run one program, which is the best?
I have Windows 7 home 64bit and I use the 2012 version of Norton Internet Security.Over the last few days the Action Center keeps telling me that NIS has been switched off and raising issues about antispyware, antivirus and the firewall. NIS is sitting there telling me that everything is secure.
I don't think there is a major issue but it is very irritating. I can resolve it for today by going into NIS, switching everything off and then back on again. So it looks like something has gone wrong with the communication between Windows and NIS at start up.
i was trying to set up my home group so i got the password and put it into my other laptop it keeps saying password incorect.i've got norton internet security
I purchased a Windows 7 laptop that was already running Microsoft Security Essentials. Since I had a Norton 360 Premier subscription, I tried to download and install it.It won't work without uninstalling MSE, which I did. But it still doesn't work. MSE won't reinstall because it can find bits of the Norton install. I've run the Norton utilities for removal, I've spent 4 hours on the phone with Norton, and I've been going back and forth via email with the MS support guys to do a full removal of MSE and after going through registry edits, and turning off all microsoft products and hours of troubleshooting this - I *still* can't get it to work.
My laptop has suddenly seized up and I think it might be to do with a security conflict - Norton security scan appears to now be on my laptop through, I think, some vigorous pop-ups which must have got past me. I've just installed - reinstalled - AVG 2013 (no idea why I lost it in the first place) so feel reasonably protected and want to try to get rid of Norton Security Scan to see if that unblocks the slowness. But it won't uninstall, claiming always to be running.
i have been having problems with NORTON ANTIVIRUS and when i clicked on it nothing happens also i cant now get access to the INTERNET yesterday i had to go to a RESTORE point but INTERNT ACCESS was ok after i did this i just seemed to drop out when i clicked on NORTON ICON
I recently purchased a lenovo laptop for home purpose around 1.5 months back. The laptop was having already microsoft security essentials (MSE) and mcafee antivirus plus software. Unfortunately, yesterday i was facing blue screen on death type of error (BSOD) error. On one forum, I found that it may be due to the mcafee antivirus software. So, I uninstalled the software as per suggestion.Why MSE was not able to detect this bsod error? Moreover, why mcafee, which itself is a anti-virus software, was causing this issue?
Morever, I want to install good free antivirus software. I am totally confused whether should I install the antivirus software or, the internet security software. Please throw more light on good free internet security software from longer perspective. (I just found that almost all free trials are only for 1 month only)? Moreover, why built-in windows firewall and microsoft security essentials (MSE) are not enough for detecting malacious software. Why extra internet security software or antivirus software is required ?
which anti virus/internet security to buy! Ours has run out. We use our laptop for storing itunes, facebook, twitter, downloads etc as well as stuff like doing cv's etc on. We've got windows 7, don't want to spend a fortune, only have one pc in the house and we don't use it for business and don't have kids using it. Also it's running so slow and always making a noise! We defrag the hard drive on a reg basis, anything else we can do
Can any tell me how to remove Win 7 Inernet Security scamware from my computer? When I go to Control panel> programs and features Win 7 Internt Security is not listed, so I can't uninstall it.
I'm using windows 7 and INTERNET explorer 8 when I get on the INTERNET and try to go to Hotmail a window comes up and says, "Security Warning - Do you want to view only the web page content that was delivered securely?" In the box that comes up it has more... "This web page contains content that will not be delivered using secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire page." Then it has three buttons to click on, "More Info", "Yes", "No" - This comes up time after time, page after page, didn't use to do this and I haven't downloaded any programs for security, or to use with/on the INTERNET.
I just bought a laptop with wireless internet service. I can connect to the internet as long as my router is hardwired into my computer, but when I try to connect to my wireless network, it asks me for the network security key and I have no idea what that is or where to find it. So what and where is it?

I'm running win 7 x64 just recently updated to IE 9 and by the way I'm also running MS scurity essecitals, it was not doing this when I had IE 8. My question is I don't want my files I dl to be scanned. I went into MSE realtime protection setting and unticked scan all dl's but it's still doing it. How do I disable it ?
Having replaced Zonealarm and MSE with CA's Internet Security Suite Plus V7 on my Windows 7/64 box, my XBoxes can no longer connect to the Win 7 Media Center computer. I turn off the CA firewall and everything works fine again, but I want to properly configure the firewall for MCE communications.I called CA Tech support and they started to help, but then refused to continue once the support supervisor was contacted regarding my problem, indicating it was up to me to obtain and sort out the port problem.Having read several posts on various sites on the topic outlining theoretical solutions, I have yet to find a do-this-it-works-and-solves-the-problem post. I posted this inquiry elsewhere but got referred back to all the stuff that I'd already found, read and tried (that didn't work).Since then I've found Microsoft's list of programs and ports that Media Center needs opened up, but am not familiar enough with CA's ISS+ to make the fewest number of changes to get the job done.
My system has suddenly started giving me a 'Windows Security - These Files cannot be opened - Your Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened.' Message when I tried to start 'The Sims 3' game. I have played this before, many times. I also got the msg when trying to install Antivir Antivirus. I couldnt install it. I Have changed the internet security settings and still nothing. I have run virus/spyware checks and they are clean.I don't know what to do - there is obviously something wrong.I am running Windows 7, 64bit version.[Window Title]indows Security[Main Instruction]hese files can't be opened[Content]Your Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened.[Expanded Information]C:UsersLADYNA~1AppDataLocalTempRarSFX0presetup.exe[^] Hide details [Close]
I follow all the post on avira support forum. But still can't solve my problem about ICMP flooded thing. can't connect to the Internet, I changed the delay from 50 to 20 to 150 it didn't work on Adapter settings Expert mode bla bla bla. I uninstall my avira but still didn't work
I just got an Acer Predator. I transferred settings from XP using Windows Easy Transfer. The Internet connection was working perfectly. I installed Comodo Firewall, Avira AntiVir and ThreatFire. Then it could not connect. I plug the Ethernet cable into the XP computer and it connects no problem.I tried a system restore and it didn't fix it. I am running a thorough AviraAntiVir scan now on the Windows 7 system. I don't want to assume it is a virus, but the system was unprotected until I got the three security applications installed. I did also see some Comodo warnings and I approved going ahead because the security apps were installing at the time.
Something is wrong with my os when i am trying to open adobe reader , rocket dock and other application it says " Internet security settings prevented one or more files to be opened"..
When I uninstall Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, my gadgets go corrupt (e.g. I can only see a black box with the clock gadget, I can only see an info icon with the weather gadget, I can't see the calendar even if it is on my desktop before uninstalling KIS 2010) and TuneUp Utilities 2010 also gets corrupt because I can't access the Start Center and I can't open WMP 12 because it's corrupted too. So I have to do a System Restore to restore the corrupt stuff and restore KIS 2010 as well but I want to switch to Avira and I can't switch to Avira because of this.
I recently updated my PC and just bougth some different gear, for some reason it just refuses to boot. What happens is when I get to the windows logo loading screen my pc just freezes and reboots. This kept happening so I bought a new HDD and still the same, checked the harddisk to be sure on another pc. Also I recently bought 8 GB DDR3 ram, a P63 B3 Revision Motherboard, I2500K intel core CPU, crossfire with 2x GeForce 9800 GT.
