Windows 7 - Norton 360 - Update recently. Now have Windows Antispyware and Antimalware messages

Thank you so much for your detailed message. 

While I read ahead, I ran the Norton Remove and Reinstall tool - and used the full uninstall feature.

I also read how to post the pictures that would be helpful to the people trying to assist me in my quest to be protected. 

The link that you showed me - I was a bit hesitant to try out. I am only a moderate computer user and then worried that I would be deleting previous versions back up sets - but I wished to resolve the issue at hand.
I also would classify my computer displaying an AWOL type of situation.

I navigated my way through the C: and did the following:

This one I could not get to delete - but it works regardless - I just kept trying 

This is the screen that I get after doing LiveUpdate x 3 as instructed.

After doing all this I hope that I do not encounter it again and I am wondering what actually caused it - maybe Windows 7 is getting too old, or Norton Updates may conflict.
You sound smarter than myself - until the next few restarts - I will mark resolved and I am really happy with all the assistance given.

Upon restart I am back to square one. I am receiving messages that I am not covered by any antispyware programs, Check Antivirus program, and the last one is the Network firewall. 

Do I really have to go through the whole process again

I also am doing the run Norton LiveUpdate again - but seems fruitless
 

This is the Windows Warning - when Norton 360 is selected - will not accept

Any help will be appreciated - even if it is a Window 7 error against Norton 360.

I have read somewhere that the following may the issue:

It's Windows doing the moaning. Because you are on Windows 7 it hasn't got all the new bits in it that recognise you are covered and turn this message off.

If you can run Windows Defender it might turn it off. Mind you, Norton might moan then.

An upgrade to Windows 10 would sort it.

1. My date and time are correct 

2. W7 SP1 or later - unsure how to find that out - just went into control panel - W7 SP1 - affirmative

3. Below is the confirmation - and thank you for the links - I am an old geek - sometimes find it hard

That is what I got once I tried to install the above update and moved to the next.

I thank the members on this forum - may have to test my keystrokes on chat 

That is correct - I am going to try and go through Norton RnR again - advanced settings 

I also uninstalled MS Security Essentials.

I am now frustrated with everything:

1. Running Windows Defender as I afraid that I am not protected from any intrusions

First got this message

Then this 

2. I am looking at MS websites on firewalls - but not that confident in going into the background operations of the operating systems

I am wondering if any Guru's will be able to help me further.

I have read that maybe the following may help me :
 

- Go To "Run"

- Type "CMD"

- Enter - cd:\windows\system32\config\TxR

- run "attrib –H –S *" to make all hidden files in the directory visible.

- run "del *.blf"

- run "del *.regtrans-ms"

- reboot the machine

3. I am happy that the MS security updates that I followed on the Malwarebytes website. 

I am running further updates at the moment.

I hope that a patch or something can fix this - or what advice would you give me.

I thank you all for reading my painstaking words
