Hi 2110
 
When you say "...is not turned on" what exactly do you mean? What are the signs of this?  What colour is the interface and in it can you see any of the Shield sliders set to 'Off'? If so then which ones are involved, etc?
 
Many thanks, Baldrick

I am having the same issue. Both Windows Security Center says Malware Protection is off. I can't turn it back on. Webroot also says Antivirus product installed without protecting the system. How can this be fixed?  Webroot shows green with everything checked next to it.

  • Reboot once again
