Why does windows security alert say I dont have an anti-virus software installed?
I have mcAfee security center, and has everything like a firewall and a virus protection. Windows tells me that i dont have an anti-virus software installed why? Everything is up to date, is there a way to tell windows that i do have it, without disabling the pop up? Under security center it shows mcafee under spyware and malware protection but nothing under anit-virus, thanks
This was also happening to me with Kaspersky and
it was usually after windows updates which can be every
24hrs and deleting the windows log files and rebooting
seemed to cure the problem for another week or so.
Also i noticed if kasp…done an update at startup
the windows pop-up appeared saying no a/virus.
As far as i know there is no way to tell windows
that you do have it as they don’t even seem to know which
a/virus you have….you may have changed 2 or 3 times.
Just go to control panel….security centre…..click on change the way
security centre alerts me and uncheck the Virus alert and
click ok…..you can leave the firewall and the updates checked as they don’t seem to give a problem.
