HI I was wondering if I could get some help with something. I am having a problem with Security Center in Windows Vista Home basic.

I was wondering if someone could help me get something back to Green the other day I uninstalled off my computer Microsofts one care scanner I did not realize deleting Microsoft One care scanner off my computer would cause Windows Security Center to show Malware protection as yellow? When I pushed on the malware protection menu it says that Pc Cillin antivirus is still on it is just reporting to to Windows security center in a different format that is not supported it says to update the program or call the manufacturer for a new version?

What can I do to correct this problem and turn malware protection from yellow to green. My firewall and other security feaures are green?

I should mention that I am an intermediate computer user. Is their a simple and easy way to correct this above problem.
thanks.
please if you could explain your answer to me in English and in complete sentences.
thanks very much.

I tried this but when I click on Security Center, there is no place at all that says “Change the way..”. Do you know how to do it without?

[...] to the quoted snippet — fixed this problem. I didn’t notice because Windows Vista is so infernally annoying across the board that minor things like Windows Update being less annoying apparently left no impression. Please [...]

I’m having a similar problem. I keep getting the balloons and alerts from security center, but when I go to click “change the way it alerts me” it tells me that I have spyware and that I need to buy SoftCop Antispyware. In fact, it tells me to do that no matter what I click in the security center options. So I’m stuck.

Hi,

I would appreciate if you could please advise me on the following: I have windows vista installed on my laptop and getting following message in Windows Security Center under Malware Protection:

Malware Protection……….Checking Settings….shaded in yellow

Virus Protection…..Not Compatible

Kaspersky internet security is on but it is reporting its status to windows security center in a format that is no longer supported. User the programs automatic feature or contact the program manufacturer for the updaed feature.

I have updated the kaspersky internet security but still the mentioned message is not going away.

Your help will be appreicated.
