Changed to AVG Security Essentials - WARNING showing
I removed AVG and installed Security Essentials. However, sometimes when I start the computer, a warning
will of enunciation (red) AVG is not installed and the computer is not protected.
Why he keep reference AVG when I is more like my anti-virus software. Should not refer to Security Essentials?
I use Add/Remove Programs, when I uninstalled AVG and then installed SE.
I have Windows XP.
What files are staying on the computer that are not deleted and how to clean all the AVG off your computer?
Thanks for the help.

Is it possible to change the parameters of the scheduled scan of the Microsoft Security Essentials from the command line or in a script?
I know that I can use the command to schedule the MpCmdRun.exe tool command line to run, but that do not change or remove the existing scheduled scan that appears in the software. Run regedit to merge into the corresponding registry keys does not work because the keys are "locked", probably by the running of MSSE program.

AVG free antivirus or microsoft security essentials! What is the best?
Ive got a dell inspiron 1525 and I have windows vista 32 bit. I don't know if I have to use security essentials package or avg anti-virus. I can also use the mcafee security suite. I just need some experienced or professional advice and appreciate it if someone could help me! Thank you!
Everyone has their own personal likes/dislikes to security programs!
You opened a can of worms!And security Suites(Norton, Trend, McAfee) are just Bloatware.
They try to be everything to everyone and fail.
They also use a lot of your system resources to run.I do not use one of them; AVG or MSE.
There are bad reports about the compatibility of the 9.0 AVG and MSE is a new kid on the block.
I'll wait and see how MSE pans.I use builtin Vista Firewall.
I use Avast AV:
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
Avast anti-virus is XP, Vista and Windows 7 compatible, FREE, automatic update, and a user of low resources from your computer.
And, don't have 1 (one) anti-virus installed / running on your computer at any time.
Conflicts, crash and freezing may occur if you have more than 1 (one).
And for an Anti-malware program:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php
Malwarebytes is as its name suggests, a Malware Remover!
Download the free Version from the link above.
Download, install, upgrade and scan once a fortnight.
Something for you to think.
Once others have also responded, weigh the pros and cons of each.See you soon.

How access 'Change startup Progs' with MS Security Essentials actvated
I have MS Security Essentials runs so that Defender is turned off.
I need access to swich off unnecessary Start Up Progs, but when I go to Control Panel-programs-change startup Progs... I get a box that appears, informing me Defender is disabled, but can be substituted and turn it on.
I am very aware as I have MS Essentials running a NOT just another anti virus, Defender, at the same time runing.
So, how can I get access to the page to allow me access to turn on des/Start Up Progs on my computer.
Advice in the MS help pages do not offer the senario that MS Essentials turn and swiched off defender... .he suppose that Defender running!

In Windows XP you could uninstall Windows Defender because he considers as the application that you install in Windows Vista and Windows 7, it is part of Windows, and you couldn't unistall it. However, you may turn it off.
You also mentioned that you use Microsoft Security Essentials, if that's the case then Windows Defender must be turned off and you don't need, because Windows Defender antispyware and Microsoft Security Essentials is Anti-Spyware + Anti-Virus.

Satellite Pro A300: Problem with Microsoft Security Essentials
Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with XP SP3 and now deleted AVG Free and installed Microsoft Security Essentialls (MSE).
The result is after installing MSE and begin my laptop cursor is stuck in the center of the screen and will not respond to the inputs of the mouse or the keyboard.
In aid of F12 to get my startup options allowed me to try the Safe Mode and last known good Configuration etc but they all show the same functionality, IE freeze when the desktop appears. XP seems to be operating in the background, for example system clock stays on time, "notice" system if its wifi singal is removed etc.
Just to make the day to try to do an OS reinstall pressing 0 to on has no effect - system just boots in XP - so I can't my recovery partition!
I have now is not a HW problem as the /kbd cursor works if I boot into a non-windows system, for example UBUNTU CD
Any suggestions welcome - such as can I download a recovery on antother PC CD and burn a recovery CD?
Hello
I have no idea what happened after installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it seems that you are not able to access the files on the HARD drive
I think you need to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery.
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=58But this would format the system partition :(
In order to save the files from the HARD drive, I recommend using / boot from a bootable floppy from Win PE.
Win PE (also called BartPE) is a thin window OS that is bootable CD and don t need to be installed on the HARD drive.

Hello
1. which version of the Windows operating system is installed on the computer?
2. What is the exact name of the security program that you have installed?
3. were you able to install the program of security without any problem?
If security program installed with no problem, then the program will have its own settings or it will appear in the lower right of the screen. You will be able to check the settings and make changes according to your needs from there.
If you use Windows 7, then I suggest you to go through the steps mentioned in the link and the Coachman.
