Hello,
My "Windows Security center" reports that my "Antivirrus" program is turned off and suggests that I turn it on.
I have no idea how to do this but any way, I followed a few threads from other forums and found that I could edit the following registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center
The value for the AntiVirusOverride was set to 1 which means that it is disabled (i'm told). I changed it to zero and lo....when i reset the machine, it is turned back to 1 so something has infected my machine but i cant seem to find anything to get rid. I run Spybot and ewido but they report machine as clean which suggests that the actual virrus is removed but the registry still alters on boot.
Funny thing though, The firewall in the windows SEC center was also constantly disabled. When i tried to turn it on I kept getting this message:
Cannot start ICS
this drove me near insane until I found a command line from a forum somewhere:
NETSH RESET WINSOCK
Or something like that but this fixed the fire wall problem straight away and I wondered if there was a CMD line or something similar which would fix the AntiVirusOverride command?
cheers anyway
