If you go to the Windows Control Panel and look at Security, everything is disabled - EXCEPT 'Internet Security Settings are set to their recommended levels' I have no ieda how to make that go away.

The PC is a 2012 Dell XPS 8300 running Windows 7.

All virus and security settings that I can find have been disabled. These are directly connected via ethernet cable hard drive to iMac. I have downloaded and launched Windows Migration Assistant and it is also 'Waiting for your Mac to connect.' I am at initial start-up, with the 'Select the Source' window and a whirling apple thing 'looking for other computers'. I have followed ALL the directions repeatedly (so please do not give me the link on 'how to'), I have called Apple Care who do not have the answer.

I am doing this for my work computer, which I just got a new iMac and really need to transfer my PC files (Outlook mail folders, calendar and contacts) into my new iMac. I am a longtime Mac user and have never migrated a PC to a Mac before. I hope someone who knows something about Windows PCs can help.
