Good morning I am having problems with my Windows 7 installation. I first noticed when I was inpecting the status of the windows firewall. In the action center it says that the windows security centre is turned off. When I click turn it on nothing happens. Also, when I type 'services' in the start menu, I get 'error connecting connecting to nfs wmi provider'. My computer runs on its own and I only connect to the internet. I am running Avira anti-virus. I am updated and my windows 7 is activated and genuine. I would be grateful if some one could assist me with this problem. Regards Roberto

It won't work because windows doesn't allow two firewalls / anti-virus programs, either use firewall and defender or avira. It is recommended you don't install more than two firewalls / anti-virus at any one time.Professional In Computing - Please Contact for Help.

Also don't worry about the action centre, your avira is working right?Professional In Computing - Please Contact for Help.
