Computer help
Every time I turn my computer on I get an red alert in the tool bar saying the anti virus needs to be turned on. I am running MSE. When I click on the icon it opens up the window showing the anti virus is off. How do I turn it on? The only way that works for me is to run an update, then it turns on.

Try uninstalling MSE, run the One Care install cleanup tool - http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...areCleanUp.exe then reinstall MSE.

When I turned the computer on today everything worked. No alerts. If it happens again I will try your solution. Thanks for the help.

There are a lot of trojans out there that masquerade as "Your computer is unprotected, click here to enable firewall" or some such message. Some of them are simply a ploy to get you to buy their anti-virus products, others are more nefarious.
MSE is a decent program (maybe not the best) but it's free, easy and will keep out a majority of the nasties.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
