Thank you for the information, Robear. My KAV7 is now updated to 325.

As the AumHa VSOP & Admin, are you going to honour your promise - to have
simply suspended me for 7 days and then be reinstated, or do you want me to
play games with re-registering? I was becoming quite fond of being a Gold
member! I was also considering making a donation once I was sure that there
are no 'bad apples' at AumHa.

Thank you for this message. It is very helpful. It's nice to find a fellow
kaspersky user. So far, the information i studied has not been sufficient. I
am contacting the two corporations. I need to get help from users and
authorities more, too. I encountered a problem with the security center. The
Virus Protection is now OFF. It has always been ON except recently so i have
a hunch it isnt a problem with compatibility. . Im not sure why it turned
OFF. (I read in http://usa.kaspersky.com/support/home-support-case.php that
the problem might bein windows not kaspersky. ) I did not change any setting
before and during this incident.

By any chance, would you know how to enable Virus Protection under the
Windows Security Update of Windows XP?To resolve this, which settings should
I change? And are they the settings of Windows or Kaspesky 7.0.1.325?

I don't think the behavior you're encountering is related to your install of
KIS v7.x (not am a Kasperky user).

There is a very good chance that you are seeing the affects of a hijackware
infection.

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx

NB: Run the FULL scan, not the QUICK scan!

2. WinXP ONLY!! => Run the Windows Live Safety Center's 'Protection' scan
(only!) in Safe Mode with Networking, if need be:

3. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting the requested
logs in an appropriate forum, not here.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

You should update your Kaspersky to version 8

If the "K" icon in your tray is red then your Kasperski is on and
working, regardless of what the Windows Security Centre says. If the
"K" icon is grey then Kasperski is not working.

See
http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=99610&hl=security+centre
for an example of how to fix the problem

Suggest you post your problem at http://forum.kaspersky.com/

Hello again, Robear

No response has yet been received from you - or I've missed it (if so I
apologise!)

For the record, please will you confirm exactly why Jim has excluded me from
the Aumha forums? Was it simply because I was using a Corporate version of
Symantec A/V?
