-pops- Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 When I booted my main machine this morning I noticed an unusual red shield in the Sys tray and clicking on it, I received the message that there was no firewall or anti-virus detected.I checked and found my AVG was operating as was my Sygate firewall.I clicked again on the message to bring up the Windows security page and found that the tick boxes for "independent" A/V and firewalls had been unticked by something.This was the first re-boot since the installation of this month's Windows Tuesday update. Could it be something to do with this? Has anyone else had a similar message recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I did the Tuesday updates (on Wednesday, as usual), and I have rebooted several times since then. Nothing like that. But I have McAfee & ZoneAlarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I've done a re-install from my Tuesday backup.I've redone the Windows update and also rebooted a few times. The message hasn't reappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4\/!d Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I've done a re-install from my Tuesday backup. Gosh! He even practices what he preaches. Well Done pops, dunno that my backup would be that recent. :tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I'm afraid my backups have fallen behind a bit... I really need to get that sorted out. :sad:Perhaps everyone who doesn't already should make a new years resolution about backing up...? :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Done pops, dunno that my backup would be that recent. :tongue:I always do a backup before I install any software - that includes Windows updates which are far from infallible in being able to cockup your system. I knew these updates were coming so I backed up last thing Tuesday night before shutting down. I also installed the Media Purveyor program I mentioned yesterday. It's now back in again with no worrying message problems.Now I just put it down to a glitch in the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4may Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I did a Backup before allowing the lastest update to be installed, just in case. No problems though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
