After each Security update for 64 based systems is installed on my PC, I get red errors in Windows 8 Action Center to fix. It shows that both the Norton and Windows firewall as well as the Norton spyware service are shut off. When I try to activate them, they will not turn back on . The troubleshooting step under Maintenance in the Action Center does not fix this problem either In every case I have had to reload Norton to clear it. View this thread

My computer is set up to download and install automatic updates. Yesterday it froze on installing the new service pack (it froze on 17 of 82). I restarted my computer and it then went through the download and installation process. Upon rebooting I could get to the log on screen in Windows, but before I could even enter my password the screen went black and then flashed to the log in screen again, then went blue. It cycled through the three of these repeatedly. I couldn't even get CTRL ALT DEL to work and my power button wouldn't work either. I had to unplug and remove my battery. I was able to hit F12 on the reboot and run diagnostics, everything checked out fine…

Is it truly a Microsoft thing, or do I have some type of virus? I have run all my virus software and it has found nothing, but I am still concerned. Is there anyway to get rid of …

After I dropped my dell inspiron 1545 laptop I had the hard drive replaced and the tech re-installed Windows 7 from his copy of the software, since my software had been destroyed in a house fire.

I have tried using multiple programs and scanned for viruses (tried and removed McAfee, Advanced Systemcare, CC Cleaner and Malwarebytes)-all came back clean (currently only using Windows Defender), hid Microsoft services and disabled third party services, attempted to download manually, one at a time, ran DISM Scanhealth/restorehealth, SFC/Scannow and chkdsk which all came back fine.
