Does anyone else have problems with their firewall and Intrusion protection turning off by itself?

[Jeffersons Ghost]

My firewall and intrusion protection turned off just now; and I cannot get it to go back on.

1. No. Doesn't sound good. What have you downloaded/installed recently? n/t

3. Nothing...

There are certain automatic downloads, which I usually try to prevent, that regularly occur.

4. We've got a computer help forum. You might want to try there, too. n/t

6. My MS Security Essentials has been turning itself off once a week for

a year or two, lol. It won't turn back on until I run a virus scan, either quick or full. It seems to do this in association with some part of the updating process.

Annoying, but not much of a problem.

7. MSE has Sun at 2 am default setting for weekly scan, this can be changed.

8. I never allow those sun updates either. Do you think some type Anonymous is invading my computer?

9. Not updating the your MSE definitions is like a screen door on a submarine.

Go to the Computer help and support Group for assistance.

10. I let my Norton Antivirus update; but it's the only update I allow

I think my computer is slutty and has too many up-dates. That's a way some hackers plant viruses; but my slutty computer sometimes sneaks out as I sleep and up-dates the wrong types of hackers.

11. You should have only 1 antiVirsus app. MSE is free and works well Norton costs unless you have a

free trial version. You need to pick one and uninstall one.

You can have multiple anti-malware and you should get SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes.. free editions available.

Boot into safemode and download and install and run both quick scans and remove malware or go to a professional (not a sales geek pretending to be a guru).

12. Bit Defender...

Best anti-virus/firewall/malware out there. Gives you full control of your system, or will take it over for you if you want... I use it with Malwarebytes and my system has been solid for over a year..
