The anti virus i was using (am using) is Anti Vir. I only used the firewall for ZA (i liked the firewall for years but not the antivirus) Seeing everything that wants access i do like. I'll have to google a bit more as i dont completely trust microsoft firewall (using currently) Thanks for the...

Hey countmike, i'll have a look into that. Thanks! :) Currently using microsoft drivers for sound, hasn't caused any problems so far!

Just a heads up here! I changed it over, all went fine. I did however have to reactivate it with microsoft, so it is linked with the UEFI etc... i think. Hope it helps people in the future!

Hey my2cents! I think it is something to do with anti vir (tried my best to google) and it not recognizing ZA. It showed the umbrella as down, so you couldn't tell if you were protected by either anti virus or a firewall unless you opened it up. I uninstalled ZA and used windows firewall and all...

Hey my2cents and count mike! Yeah, i just upgraded recently from an old machine with Xp running... so all this is really new to me and sometimes confusing! If i were to say install more of the hardware drivers, if i uninstalled them due to them acting up would windows just redownload the ones i...

Hey, I'm having to get a replacement motherboard as i have a fault on this one. It will be a like for like replacement (exactly the same) Will i have to reinstall Windows 8.1, or can i just plop it in and it will boot/load the drivers that are needed? I wanted to ask, as people often changed...

Hey Dude and my2cents! I updated my rig spec! Ok, yesterday i went to install my realtek sound drivers from asus. When i did i lost all sound completely (with Microsoft drivers it worked) So i uninstalled the realtek and microsoft reinstalled the standard ones and it worked again... it's made...

Hey Dude, thanks for the info! Atm i uninstalled zone alarm for now, and enabled windows firewall. Does that mean if i turn off the notification with ZA installed the ANTI VIR umbrella will open saying im protected with ZA? I would use windows defender but heard it's not brilliant recently, but...

Excellent, thank you. I wasn't sure as i'm finding it hard enough to even find where these folders are and was a bit worried if i could just 'overwrite' them so to speak ;)

After installing Win 8.1, i installed Anti vir and zone alarm for my anti virus and firewall. Ok, anti vir seems to be active on the anti virus front (i think) but the 'umbrella' remains closed. When i click to see why, it states that windows firewall isn't active and wants to turn it on even...

Hey Dude, thanks for the welcome! :D If i were to install say the lan drivers/realtek audio drivers/usb etc... and the Amd latest gpu drivers could i just literally install them without having to worry about the ones microsoft put on here for me? (as in downloading now, and just click install...

Hey guys, first post and all. Hope i don't make any mistakes! :dinesh: I needed to ask as i've come from XP, when i installed 8.1 it installed drivers for my mobo so i had sound/net etc... and for my gpu aswell. Should i install the drivers from the manufacturer? Such as the realtek...
