Guest dawa747 Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 I had Norton2007 and the security center was running absulutly fine simultaneously, as the firewall and the antivirus of norton is shown under ' window security center' but after i installed McAfee the problem started, the Window security center cant be started as the job is done by McAfee Security center. I uninstalled the McAfee antivirus but couldnt able to unistall the 'McAfee Security Center' and the 'Windows security center is not starting up. A help would be appreciated, Vista is bad too.... beautiful graphics but lacks standard in task. -- dawa747 Quote
Guest Rojo Habe Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Do you have a System Restore point from a time before you installed McAfee? You might even find McAfee created one for you. Click the Start button and type 'system restore' (without the quotes), followed by Enter. If Windows throws up a security message, click the Continue button. After a few seconds System Restore should appear. If the date of the suggested restore point is before you installed McAfee, click Next, and on the next page click Finish. If the suggested restore point is after you installed McAfee, select "Choose a different restore point" before clicking Next. This will give you a list of recent restore points. If they don't go far back enough, tick the box that says "Show restore points older than 5 days". If you can find one that says "Installed McAfee" or something similar, pick that, otherwise pick one that occurs immediately before you installed it (or as close as you can). Click Next and follow the instructions. Windows will reboot and restore your system to the time selected. You will not lose any files in the process, but any software you've installed since that time will have to be installed again.

Guest Mick Murphy Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Go to McAfee's site, and get their Removal Tool to remove the remains of their Program! -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "dawa747" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > > I had Norton2007 and the security center was running absulutly fine > simultaneously, as the firewall and the antivirus of norton is shown > under ' window security center' but after i installed McAfee the problem > started, the Window security center cant be started as the job is done > by McAfee Security center.

Guest Milo Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Just a Question did you remove Norton properly prior to installation of mcafee? Anyhow a direct support group for your concern is available if you're in the US/CANADA try calling up a free support group 866 727 2338 ( Microsoft PCSafety ) "dawa747" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:fd98157e08452d92c792bf07688667a3@nntp-gateway.com...<span style="color:blue"> > > I had Norton2007 and the security center was running absulutly fine > simultaneously, as the firewall and the antivirus of norton is shown > under ' window security center' but after i installed McAfee the problem > started, the Window security center cant be started as the job is done > by McAfee Security center.

Guest Beoweolf Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Once installed, Norton A/V, MacAfee as well as Symantec A/V are extremely difficult to remove. They are apparently imbedded in the registry, hidden deeply on several levels. As mentioned by several responders, go to the web site and see if they offer an uninstall or cleaner file. Alternatively, use your backup to restore the system to a configuration prior to the A/V installation. Check on the internet for cases where others have, post apocalyptically, found them selves in similar circumstances when desiring or are forced to remove These invasive security program. As you found out, they tend to leave behind "bread crumbs' which prevent Defender or Microsoft security programs from starting, even after they are removed.

Guest dawa747 Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 thanks all. I cant do system restore as restore is not available beyong ten restore points. I consulted with the macafee, but i am not satisfied with their solution. My problem is still there. cant start windows security center and cant put on the windows firewall. windows firewall options are unavailable and says " For security reason, some settings are control by group policy." I dont know how to check the group policy and am not in any domain. -- dawa747 Quote
