Down at the task border in each case a red X, Windows of safety references stands.
With Safety reference........
I have recently that the virus protection am not found. (Avast since beginning of the installation of Vista) and with Defender I can not switch on.... Stands out..... Why?
 
Can someone help me?

    While I'm not absolutely certain, I believe this may be part of a SmitFraud variant. 
    Both RogueRemover as well as SuperAntiSpyware can remove many [but not all] SmitFraud variants.   If you wish, you could try these (links below)... RogueRemover runs really fast, and so is the more efficient to use  when it works... be advised that a complete SuperAntiSpyware scan can run 20 to 40 minutes, because its scan is far more comprehensive.  Be sure to let us know which one, if either, worked for you.
     
     
     
    ====================================================
     
    If these attempts don't succeed --- or even if they do, but you'd like further confirmation that you're fully clean, then you can post a HiJackThis log in the HJT forum, where the helpers can offer you personalized assistance --- please do NOT try to proceed with HJT "fixes" on your own!  
     
    Here's the information on HiJackThis, in case you decide to pursue it:
     
    Download a self-extracting copy of the latest version of HJT (HiJackThis) (version 1.99.1) from
    Save it to your Desktop.
    Double-click on the file    hijackthis_sfx.exe    file, and allow it to self-extract [by clicking on UnZip] into the suggested/default folder,
    C:\Program Files\HijackThis
     
    Use Windows Explorer to navigate your way into this folder, and then double click on HiJackThis. exe

    Click on  Do a System Scan and Save a LogFile

    This will automatically open NotePad

    Copy the entire file from NotePad:  EDIT/SelectAll, EDIT/Copy

    Then go to the forum dedicated for HiJack This logs (**NOT** back here), and  PASTE the results there:

    http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board?board.id=si_hijack

     

    Be sure to include a detailed description of any problems/errors/warnings you are encountering.  

    Also, please indicate the steps you've already taken, if any, in terms of running anti-malware scanners or malware removal tools.

     
    When you submit your HJT log, please make sure the box under your text which shows "Automatically convert carriage returns to HTML line breaks" is checked, or your log may not format correctly... it should consist of separate/readable lines, not one large "jumble".
     

    Hopefully, one of the HJT experts will get to it as quickly as possible.

     

    WARNING:  HiJack This is a VERY POWERFUL tool.  While it's  completely safe  for you to download, generate, and post your log (as described above), you should *NOT* attempt to do anything else (in particular, do NOT use it to delete/fix any entries) until you are advised to do so by a forum expert!!   Improper use of this tool can severely damage your system.
