Windows Security Center Virus

[arwest]

Security center disabled again upon reinstallation of Norton. I have Norton Internet Security 08 and it expires Nov. this year

I am also gettting an internet explorer error message. I got a screenshot of it and am attaching it.

the file is too large, but here's what it says"

iexplorer.exe - application error
The instruction at "0x66ff127e" referenced memory at "0x03e066d4" The memory could not be read. Click ok to terminate the program.

Security center disabled again upon reinstallation of Norton.

As you can see, there is definitely some conflict between Norton, and Security Center. This, I can't help.
I'm not surprised, though. I really dislike Norton. You'll have to wait until November to get rid of it.

As for IE error, go Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, and click Reset button.
Restart computer.

Norton disables Windows security center.

When installing NAV, you are prompted to make the Norton Security
Center the default, overriding Windows Security Center. To avoid this
reinstall and uncheck that option or opt to do a Custom install.

Open NAV. On the Norton protection center window above Basic PC Security
click OPTIONS.

On the Norton Protection Center Options window select General Settings

Under Windows Security Center alert settings check the box. Show messages
from Windows Security Center. Click ok.

Close NAV

Then open Security Center it should be working as normal.


If this option isn't there then see Symantec Support

Norton disables Windows security center.

Ahh....thanks evil

[arwest]

thanks again for all your help.

security center has been starting upon computer start up!

I did reset my internet options, which got rid of the IE error message for a couple days, but it is back again. And, since making the last two changes my computer has been super slow. Specifically, I can't load my yahoo email page and my spyware and anitvirus programs are taking over 4 hours to scan my computer (before it was about an hour).

I suspect Norton, but since you paid for it...
