BleepingComputer.com: Need a registry fix please

I applied the registry fix. The DisplayName and description are now correct. I think everything might be fine now. Also, I am able to "Change Action Center Settings" and select which security messages appear to warn me if something is not right with my security.

Should I proceed to load my anti-virus software, which is Webroot Antivirus with Spysweeper? I am a little afraid to do so because last time I did, the computer would lock up. Then I would have to go into Safe Mode and uninstall Webroot. Then everything would return to normal. Do you think that problem is fixed now?

Ok. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

Whew, ok, so far so good. The install did not go smoothly, but I think I'm good now.

After I installed Webroot Antivirus with Spysweeper (version 7), it popped up a balloon in the notification area saying it was updating itself, but then it opened up an Internet Explorer window that said I could get the newest version 8 Webroot SecureAnywhere for free. That is something it did NOT do 2 weeks ago.

I went ahead and installed SecureAnywhere, but then it looked like I had BOTH installed at the same time. I tried to remove version 7 from Programs and Features, but it refused to do it. So then I decided to use Webroot's special removal tool, WRUpdatetool. It seemed to process everything successfully, then I restarted. Only the newest version is currently installed and everything looks good in the Action Center.


That brings up a quick question though: Network Access Protection is turned "off" is that ok? What is that for?

Okay, I got this solved in the Windows 7 thread. Thank you. Moderator can close this topic.

Nice to hear that everything works now.

Ignore NAP,home networks doesn't have much use of it.
