WINDOWS 8 Action Center reports firewall/anti-virus/anti-spyware turned off, McAfee says all are turned on and running. Can't get message corrected.
WINDOWS 8 Action Center reports firewall/anti-virus/anti-spyware turned off, McAfee says all are turned on and running. I have tried to turn them on through the Action Center, but nothing happens.
Maybe download/install and update before running something like Malwarebytes free edition.

McAfee is known to be buggy on win8 too. You could completely uninstall it but you should still use their MCPR.exe removal clean up tool run as administrator, otherwise it will continue to create odd and serious problems.

Most likely one or both of the above is your problem.

Thank you for replying. I appreciated the recommendation to run malwarebytes because it gave me peace of mind knowing that it didn't find anything. The original error seemed to self correct in the past two days so it was either an update from Microsoft
or an update from McAfee that set things straight. Thank you again.
