    Security Notification


    Each time I turn on my computer a get a notification that reads: First line "Virus and threat protection"; second line "Turn on virus protection".


    I have visited the Microsoft Community looking for asked and answered postings, but could not find what I was looking for. You see, I'm using McAfee Total Protection and McAfee shows me everything is covered. Further, when I check my Windows 10 "Windows Security" it shows everything is turned on. Now I understand that it is not optimal to run two security systems at the same time and so I probably should do something like turn OFF Windows Defender, but this does not make sense relative to the notification which is telling me that I should turn ON "Virus protection".


    I can't find a way to address this. can anyone help? I would be grateful.

    (SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

    Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

    Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

    no update notification

    Hi Kent,

    One possible cause why you're unable to receive notification is due to wrong configuration settings. To assist you better, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
    • Are you able to receive notification before?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Go to Control Panel and select Security and Maintenance.
    • Choose Change Security and Maintenance settings.
    • Put a check on the check box.
    • Click OK.

    This will allow you to disable/enable specific types of messages, including messages about Windows Update, Internet security settings, User Account Control, Windows Backup, and more.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Security Notification

    Security notifications with Windows 10.

    In Windows 7 you used to be able to list exclusions. I could stop the notification by going one step further down in my security, which I don't want to do. The notifications in this case are from Dropbox, and are frequent and annoying, but the app is
    completely trustworthy, and I always click yes without a thought.

    Isn't there something deep in th system which I could access?
