Problems with security. Help pleeeaz

I have some strange problems with my comp security. I cannot update

windows - error 8024402C In Help I found that I have to turn off

Firewall, Antivirus,anti-spyware software, while downloading and

installing updates.I checked my Windows Security Center and found out

that I have 2 Firewalls Windows Firewall and McAfee on at the same time.

I can turn Windows Firewall off,but I can't do anything to McAfee.I have

no idea where it comes from.I never installed it and more than that I

checked all my computer, registry. I didn't find anything close to

it.But my Security Center says that I have not only McAfee Firewall

,butI also have McAfee Antivirus and multiple antispyware programs and

all this stuff turned on and up to date.Sometimes I have this :

-"problem was caused by Bitdefender Antivirus, which was created by

Bitdefender. Currently, there is no solution for the problem that you

reported" I do not have any Bitdefender in my computer. Where all this

stuff comes from. The only Antivirus that I installed in my comp was

NOD32 But I had to uninstall it Because I do not want them to conflict

with each other.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

McAfee stuff had to have been installed either by you, or it's a

bundled program from the OEM that you bought this computer from, and the

samewith BitDefender.

You had a much better AV program with Nod32 than BitDefender, so if you

can go back to NOD without much cost, then I recommend that.

2 firewalls will Always conflict, whereas 2 AV's usually will not, but

the reduncancy is not needed. If McAfee is installed on this machine, it

will be listed in Control Panel/Programs & Features list.

If you indeed do have McAfee firewall you can disable the Windows

Firewall by stopping and disabling it's service in the Services list.

While it's not a real good firewall, it's better than the Windows one.

As soon as possible tho, I would get rid of all that McAfee crud and get

either Comodo's Free firewall (#1 ranked) or Online Armor Personal

Firewall (Free)(#4 ranked), and along with Nod32 AV you'll have a great

security combo.

Below is what I use, and how to use it!

Hope it helps!

Vista’s Firewall is very good! Only run 1 Firewall.

http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Above is a link to Avast Free 4 Home Anti-Virus

It is low resource using, free and Vista 32bit and 64bit compatible.

Only have one (1) anti-virus installed; more than 1 can cause conflicts.

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

For Spyware removal, use the above link to “Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2â€Â

Download it, install it, update it, immunize your system and scan your

System with it.

http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/

For a non-scanning, but running in the background, Program to STOP Spyware

being downloaded to your Computer, use SpywareBlaster 4, available at the

above link.

IMPORTANT ADVICE: After scanning with the above Programs, problems still

remain.

Reboot computer, and tap F8 at power on/ startup. From the list of options

that appears, select Safe mode by using the UP and DOWN Arrows, then hit

ENTER.

Rescan the computer in Safe mode.

Go to Control Panel and double click Add/Remove programs;

Wait for the installed software list to be displayed;

Locate the applications you wish to remove, highlight it and then click

Remove;

Wait for the uninstall process to complete and then restart your computer.

Not successful?

Is it possible the other AV software came bundled with your hardware or with

other apps? For example, a Google search for Bit Defender bundle shows that

it comes in a bundle with VMWare/Intego. One way to get rid of all these

conflicting AV packages is to go into your Control Panel and choose

Add/Remove Programs then find the undesired software and uninstall it.

Hard to break old habits, it's now called "Programs and Features" :>)

Why MS changed to this new name is beyond me.
