| Vista Ultimate 64-bit, SP2 | Are you using AVG Anti Virus [no firewall component included] free or paid? Are AVG & Spybot updated regularly? Do you scan regularly? Have you had any "nasties"? How often do you use Registry Mechanic? Did your computer come preinstalled with a trial AV program? Last edited by JMH; 08-18-2009 at 06:32 AM.. Reason: Typo. |

| Vista Ultimate 64-bit, SP2 | I don't advise you use Registry Mechanic. Why do you think it necessary? If you had an Anti Virus preinstalled on the computer when purchased, it should have been removed using the appropriate removal tool. it is very unwise to have 2 Anti Virus progs on the same computer. Now to your Windows Firewall - Go to Start - Run - type in services. msc - ok - scroll down to Windows Firewall - check that Status is Started & Start Up Time is Automatic. Let us know how you go.
