Virus Protection

[Guest]

Hi

I've just discovered that my virus protection in the Windows Security Centre
is switched off. I'm not sure why or how.

How can I switch it back on?

The Windows Security Center only monitors your own installed
antivirus program. Do you have an antivirus program installed?

Don't depend on MS to tell you about your AV application. Verify it with the AV application
itself.

Here is one way... Go to the bottom of the page and click on the files in the "Download
area."

Yes I have AVG. How strange - yesterday evening it appeared to have switched
itself back on.

Thanks anyway
